Surprisingly less than I would have thought, about eighteen different builders...
Obvious voids in the display I would like to fill include Manzi, Tagger, Slip, Flap, Numbskull, Eastendlou, Freak, and PNG (fricken' #^&#^&#^&#^& ho'd a beautiful Roman nike Chris gave me last MSBA show.... saw it and then had to watch him lose it...) I would say that a third have come via S-B fundraisers, a third bought, and the rest came through generousity of friends met though this site. Over three years, I have only finished maybe a dozen plugs, so haven't had the goods to swap with. They suck, so half have gone to locals who think their good. The rest I just keep moving the weight around to see if they'll ever swim right. Easier to try and ho...
As I stated in another thread, I get more enjoyment seeing them hung on the exposed beams in this room, so if I only have one from a builder, it likely is going to live on display. More than one, then I'm gonna fish the others hard.
