so I am building those pencils for nutin?
You are welcome to stop over any weekday you have some time and we can go thru the whole kit and caboodle as to what you need and what you don't need in my eyes. Everyone is different but I can show you what you will need to get started and the prices you are going to pay for pretty much everything. I can also get an idea as to what you hope to accomplish.

No way!! 
Given my typical learning curve and lack of mechanical skill I'll likely be retired by the time I figure all this stuff out. Perhaps by then I can actually produce something that would hoodwink a bluefish. |

Start off with kits to see if you like it. There are a lot of good
quality kits on the market. If you like the hobby then you buy the tools,wood ...etc.

great hobby Mike ,,, you could do it easily .. warning though ... Its cheaper to buy a bunch of plugs than to start building them .. You never stop buying stuff ,,tools ,,wood ,, components,,hooks,, sealer, paint , clear coats..Also its not the healthiest hobby ,,,look at numbskull .. lots of chemicals and silica dust along with irratating ceadars,, If your still interrested. give it a try ,,,come to plugfest ..

I still have one of those bic pen needles too. I used to brag to people about my friend(you) who caught fish on a toothbrush, in fact I still do. |

Paul, any chance I can crash the party, I would like to see some of the ideas you have come up with.
Mike, same offer Paul made, though I'm sure his toys are much better than mine.

Thanks Danno!
Sounds like next week I'm going on a main streets and back roads plug shop tour...kind of Peter Meheegan-like. I did get one look at PM's shop, which kind of lit the fire for me. |

First. You ain't nuthin if you can't X-Ray other people's secret intellectual property so see Numby
Second, Ross's Shopsmith might not be a bad start ??
Third, apply more to it than i have. My first plug is awesome but it is still under construction  |

In the coming months I plan on feigning a number of broken bone injuries...hopefully I don't die from radiation exposure..
