I'm not sure how many of you read my previous post and passed it by because the work load would be too big. Well, we have reached a compromise that lightens the load a bit.

The swap will have 4 categories from which each person will choose 2.

1. Realistic Paint Job - Best shot at a realistic finish
2. One For The Nutbag - Crazy Plugs.. use your imagination
3. Original Creation - Something new or original
4. Most Productive Homemade - Plug that produces best for you

The swap is open to 10 people and the building deadline is March 21st. Depending on how many sign-ups we get each builder will build a plug for each person in the swap plus one more that will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to JohnR to benefit this site.

If anyone has any further suggestions please feel free to make them. I can't wait to see what comes out of this.

So far the list looks like this

Canalman
Slipknot
Christian
Newell Guy
Chumbucket

Please use this post to sign up. :happy:

Count me in.

Well we got our target number of 6 :happy: Very excited about the cast of builders here too :D .

Any more takers? Speak now.....

Christian, are you definatley in?? I never got a definative yes from you.. I don't want to volunteer you against your will :smash: or do I?

1.Canalman
2.Slipknot
3.Christian
4.Newell Guy
5.Chumbucket
6.Tobias

let me know.
-Dave

Yes I am in, but would like to see it left at 6 people. This still means 14 plugs ( I think if I am doing my math correctly)

Yea Dave you got it right 14... I think it will stay at six as no one else has signed up in a few days.

-Dave

I am crazy :smash:

actually i think im going to pass.
.................................................. ...............................

My vote goes to let tagger in... and he will be the last... is that ok with everyone?

Christian... you scared me man!

-Dave

yes.

Sure, the more the merrier and it's that time of year:bgi:

Thanks guys...then I'm in ...:D

ok... tagger is the final addition to the list. so that's 16 plugs per person by 3/21/04... I can't wait to see what you guys come up with on this.

1.Canalman
2.Slipknot
3.Christian
4.Newell Guy
5.Chumbucket
6.Tobias
7.Tagger

Gentlemen....... start your lathes!:happy:

Why 16 plugs? If we send in 7 plugs for each of the 2 catagories we chhose, that leaves 1 for John and 6 for everyone else:confused:

Bruce... 7+7 = 14 :D

Right, 14 plugs not 16 :D

:wiggle: Everything works out right...? NOw you've got me second guessing myself........




where's my abacus..............

I'm not going to send you one set of my 2 so you can send it back to me :D that is why 14 is enough.

hey hey... you're a pretty smart guy... :cool:

However... I...well, I am a dumbass :tm:

And you sir....... are correct

send 7 of each and keep one of each for yourself! :laughs:

How about Bassmaster? Can he get in on this one?

Y knot, especially if he makes needles for one of his plugs:D



oops, sorry, hit the edit button instead of quote:smash:

YEP, that's what he said he'd make for the Go to Plug catagory :D

I want on too

I want Gassmaster & Slip nerdles if'n I go to MV in 2004:D yesssssssss:happy:

Fine with me... I had kinda hoped he would sign up.

-Dave

can i sign up?

I already signed you up. YES

So NOW we need 16 again:D

:laughs:

OK it's been 1 month (Just about)... wondering if any of you guys have started anything yet? I have come up with both designs, I just need to get off my @$$ and start turning :smash:

Here's the list again
1.Canalman
2.Slipknot
3.Christian
4.Newell Guy
5.Chumbucket
6.Tobias
7.Tagger
8. Bassmaster

-DAve

I have the first batch all primed and ready for paint.

Unfortunately Bassmaster has to drop out so that's one less plug we have to send for each catagory :( but it's an extra one for me to keep :D

How about you Dave?

BM.. dropped out>!|?!?.... oh well why because of his amp? Tell him he can borrow my mesa while he turns our plugs!! I am going to have one batch finished by the end of the week.

-DAve

i got my ideas now im gettin materials :smash: im doin the most fish plug and then own creation/paint.

Since you are creating such variety, how does everyone feel about adding an extra plug from each category to the plug project collection?

This would be a great way to support this projects inception.

What does everyone think?...

Sorry Don, I already have enough to build.

You have already sent in yours Newell! Thanks! :)

And creative stuff too, may I add... :D

This would be optional for those who have not...

its friggen cold out.
and i rather paint when its warm
BTW messas suck

already started.. oh boy ...Tadpole..

BM BM BM BM.... I think you are sooooo badly mistaken my friend.

DON - I will make an extra of one of my plugs for you, they are both very time consuming in the paint job. That is in addition to the jointed pikie I promised you before.

Tagger - I just peed a little, like an excited spaniel:laughs:... TADPOLE TADPOLE!

Thanks Dave!... free hook up to turn some this week?

Wanna Spin an extra Tadpole Tagger?...

!
think , waut ,It did sound good after I booted it off the top of a Marshall cab and stuck a 65 amp back where it belongs.
that amp is kinda like oning a laney
sound like chit.
I really did boot the amp on the floor in somerville 15 or so years ago.

I think I'm there ,,7 each ...total of 14...pleeeez say I'm right ...Can I get a witness.....an amen..

Yup... I might need Bruce to check my math :laughs: but I do believe you're all set. If you want to send them along I can give you my address, please include shipping :D... I guess $7.00 should cover it. Or you can wait until the deadline... either way is fine with me.

-Dave

should have said "almost" there,,, I still have to wire and epoxy .. I'll hit it hard this weekend if the voices in my head leave me alone ...:smash:

one more question ...ahhh hooks ...no hooks ?

No Hooks..

thanks!:D

Bruce,

We're hopeless :laughs:... If we ever get this right it'll be a derned myrackle... the number to make is 7 the number to send is 6... of each that is. Check my math PLEASE but I think that's right :smash:

I could keep the extra and give it to john.. with any other extras I receive. or I can send it back to you. Tagger sent too many as well so maybe we'll make it optional to make an extra or 2 for the site.

I guess I really shouldn't be running this things :D

Slipknot, I swam your needle today and I love it... It might get cloned if you dont mind.... Little pumps of the rod brought the nose gently out of the water to take a breath, then it would go back down...... A+
also the red headed yellow pikie had a great wiggle to it...

these plugs are driving me crazy........I cant wait for the bass to show up...the big bass that is....:smash:

Well enjoy it! my swimmings find they have a slight walk the dog action... let me know how it catches, holds up etc.. still working details of my finishing out...

To the site it is... sorry Eben :(. I know you'll understand though :D.
