I don't fully understand the question. If you are asking where to buy wire to thru-wire plugs then I have an answer. I have always (10+ years) used stainless welding rod in 306 hardness. It is a little hard to bend so I bought a box of it (about 25#) and had it heat treated) Now it bends easy without loosing any of it tensile strength or stainless properties.
The other guys may have other ways of doing it. |

Any welding supply house. Buy it by the pound. 306 hardness. Usually comes in straight lengths 36" long. You can cut as needed. |

I do it low tech. Bend the wire around a screwdriver clamped to the bench and then squeeze with a pair of crimpers made for putting ends on wire, they have a rounded shape where you squeeze the crimps. I do my end loops with some of the same hi-tech equipment. Of course if I made 100 plugs a year that would be a lot. There is a world of difference between onesies and production runs. I would guess you could have it done for less than the tooling in a production setting. If your goal is to make money you are better off puttin well bought parts together than investing in equipment. Just my 2 cents from other wood product deals.

Sammy, I read somewhere that you could take a couple of nails in a 2x4 and make a jig for those nose loops. Dremel the heads off, bigger nails for bigger loops, different patterns, crazy?

looks pretty easy.
