I use the following in the order listed. Right end - To hook in wood to a small hook to a swivel to a spring and to another hook. Install Plug or Plugs (I wire all plugs before epoxying) - to a piece of rigging wire with hooks on both ends to the left side. Sounds complicated but it allows me to swing the plugs away from the rotissory for epoxying and keep tension on them when they are spinning.

The spring and swivel is used as a complete section and I have enough so that I do not have to make them over and over. I have a bunch of different size hooks for completing the setup. I can coat and get spinning 24 plugs at a crack with this setup.

That spinner looks great. I am still spinning by hand, manually turning over. It is a 2 beer job. A friend gave me a motor a year ago, that may be one of my next projects, looking at this thread gets me fired up.
