Agree. The knowledge that people have here would be a great thing to have at the click of a button.

Stop pulling out the silver platter..how's anyone going to learn to do anything if everything comes down to a click of a button.Think for yourself,get your hands dirty,make mistakes,LEARN BUY DOING.Perhaps you'll figure out along the way how and what makes a plug work.Do the homework it'll make you a better builder.

I have been building plugs since the early 80's mostly by hand only going to the lathe in the last five years. I started using a hand rasp, palm sander and non-reversible drill.

I would have killed for the chance to see something on film to help me out. Yes I learned the hard way but just because I did doesn't mean that we can't make it less complicated for others.

If we had that attitude we would still all be living in caves.

Film away.

Why even try.........
