Ok my friend here you go. I wanted to use cotter pins like the original so to create the illusion I used cut cotter pins. I then pinned them into a bore which I threaded thus the bottom of the hanger. I then tapped the top part and rounded the head creating the illusion of the welded, solder, top part. The front grommet was done the same way with a hole drilled thru it to take the front hanger. It was a lot of fun to make and even more fun to give to Eddy. I have to thank VB, as it was his collection that inspired me to make the plug. I fell in luv with it as soon as I saw it. I thought insect at first and then black widow, thus the red hourglass. Thanks again for the accolades I am truly flattered.

Prof.M, That's the coolest hook-hanger technique I've ever seen.

I thought that was yours and when you showed me how you did it I was speechless. Love that stuff and that Fly Vice you made.
I wish I was an artist-machinist-fisherman like you and Lu.

I will probably coble together something like a blob of Epoxy or the head off one of those brass paper pins from school back in our days.
