Thanks guys, it took alot longer to put this together than it did to make a dozen plugs..obviously, I didnt think of every "trick" or idea on my own, some are original, others borrowed, some out right stolen!.. the thing is this, in this scociety of "me" first, alot of people just take, I've found on this site, the plug forum in particlar, you gents give unselfishly of your thoughts and findings... I felt, that in a small way ,it was time to give something back, so if just one of you comes away with an idea, it was all worth it.. so to all, I say thank you for contributing what you know , I for one know it has made me a better plug builder.

Can't thank you enough for that! Now I know how to really make a plug.  |

Joe, I have a question,
Is there a reason you do not turn the head & the tail at the same time? Useing one longer piece of glued up stock.

Economics.... I pre cut almost every blank to 8 1/2"... after sawing a 4X4X12' hunk of cedar ( of coarse it's not realy 4X4) but when making smaller plugs, instead of makeing extra saw dust, I resaw the lumber, it turns fastrer less wate, the thin peices can then v=be glued to make needle fish, smaller plugd etc... same with the maple, when i make darters, rather than make shaving form all that lumber I re saw it... |

Excellent tutorial there Joe. Appreciate all the time you took to prepare it.
I hope you do not mine me compiling it into a pdf format (attached) with some editorial spell check & butchering of your photos  Seeking permission to distribute it for those who asks too, okay by you?. |
Regards,

if I did not want it on the net, I would not have put it up... be my guest... spell check is good... it takes me too long to correct my mis spellings and typographical errors... |

Thanks Joe, need to ask as sometimes some forum post are frowned upon when distributed outside of it.
Didn't take too long with the spell check, the machine did most of the work. Layout and resizing the pictures to fit took sometime though. Thanks again  |
