A roll of tie wire, it's the soft iron stuff used to tie rebar together. Cut about 8" pieces, bend a hook on one end, on the other put a soft bend in it. Stickit in the thru wire hole, dip in sealer and let it drip, when the sealer is dry you can hold the plug with it and paint it. I then wire mine and epoxy and hang them from another piece of wire with a hook on each end.
Wooden handscrew, good ones made by Jorgenson. great for all sorts of clamping things and you can clamp your plugs by the tail loop and epoxy them.
A toolrest that is at least 8" for your lathe, so you don't have to move it to turn plugs.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Klein wire cutters at homies .(electrical dept.). for nipping it tight on tail wraps and just cutting wire .. Have had the same pair 6 years or more. Were like $22 at the time .. Thought they were expensive ,, worth every penny ..

I hear yah Tagger and thats the point "worth every penny"

DMT sharpeners a must for sharpening the HSS vega cutter

Now some wont agree with this one but I do not like the jet lathe as compared to others(eg delta)

I have been using the Klein tools from Home Depot since I started building and they are the best! I believe in buying the best regardless of cost as it is always penny wise!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
