Thanks to everyone who has donated one of their creations to the Plug Project!

The debut of this display was a huge success this past weekend!

So many people had great things to say about the creations that were donated!

Many people loved the idea of being able to see the works of many craftsmen in one venue, and I'll have to admit, the pic's posted up by Christian do not do justice to the amazing work that was displayed!

If anyone else has some, post them up!...

I already have many stories to tell in regard to this project as a result of it's debut this weekend!

I plan on writing some of them down so that they can accompany the display at future events.

This was a great opportunity as well to point many toward this site, as it has an incredible storehouse of wealthy information and wisdom to offer the 1st time plugbuilder.

The community on this site is A1!... you should all be as proud as I was yesterday when I saw the reactions on peoples faces as I explained that the display came together as a result of many of you stepping forward!

The most coined phrase yesterday was... "WOW!

I must admit, when I think of everyone who constitutes this site, I say the same!

Thanks to all!

Keep up the great work! :)

Yeh! sure is some nice stuff in that display....to bad u were playin mother hen to them,,couldn't get my fingers on any of them....only thing I could see ta do is to make some little stand up white cards with the guy's name on it and put it next to the plug to id them.. ya done a good job:)

It really is an amazing and beautiful collection of plugs, I could not take my eyes off of it. Soon I will have one in there myself!:btu: Bliz done good, nice work!

Thanks!... I really do appreciate your imput!

And yes Steve, I am going to put some identifiers into the case with each plug as these are mounted in.

Does anyone know where I can find some gold finish "chrome-like" plastic self adhesive numbers?

I am looking for something say 1/2'' or so?...

I want to index accompany each plug and have a guide along with the collection that tells about the person who created it!

I didn't have enough time to getit out this past weekend, but you can bet that I'm on it!...

find out who made the tiny orange needle. i need one :D :D

whats a plug ?

Bliz you did an oustanding job with the project:btu:
Its was the genesis of a lot of good and interesting conversation from old to young!
Thanks
Chris

But what are they made out of and how much for that Squid?

I also want to thank all those that contributed - it was an amazing display! Also a round of applause for Bliz for doing the whole show displaying the awesome work you guys have done!

Great job Bliz

...on putting the project together

I hope my friend that you were sitting with donates one also.

Also, I must admit that each night as I was locking up the show, all I could think was how those two cases could fit perfectly in the back of my Jimmy.

:smash:

He was too smart for that BasicPatrick, he took them home Sat. nite.:huh: :bc:

And I wanted to take that Habs for a test drive....I would have put it back afterwards!:drool:

:claps: :btu: Ataboy Don...Good job.

Got Plug:confused:

all i can say is that those plugs were shweet.. i really liked the purple and silver one slip made :D

Thanks to all who made this happen.

You all deserve all the credit.

I hope that many will enjoy the work that all of you have put into your plugs.

They are magnificent!

Hey Bliz. It was a pleasure getting a few in there. I'm really glad people are enjoying them. I know they are in good hands. Keep up the good work my friend.

Armand

Thanks PNG for your input and for being there on both days to help in fielding questions.

So many were absolutely blown away at the quality that you guys put into your Plugs!

Many are looking forward to seeing the Display again with their creations inside.

As for taking them home Bigfish,... I take stewardship over this project very seriously...

You all deserve at least that!...

Thanks also to Al Gags for sending in one of his original creations from about 25yrs ago along with an early production run of his Slammer plugs!... they are slated to arrive today.

Those will look great in the case with the other museum quality pieces!...

You were right Chris, when you say that this was a genesis for many interesting conversations...

Both young & old really enjoyed seeing this at the show.

The exciting part is that this is just getting started!

I'm looking forward to many more anglers kicking in one of theirs!...

I can guarantee all of you that I will be very careful to whom I pass this collection onto for display when I am too old to do it.

Thanks again to all. :)

Even the major plug manufacturers were blown away by your work!...

Gibbs and Al Gags were some of many who were greatly impressed by your craftsmanship.

:btu:

Bliz,
Great job with the Plug Builders Project & Display.It will be very interesting to watch the collection grow over the years. Should be most enjoyable . I may even get up enough nerve to finish one myself before next year.
:eek:

If it's anything like your metal work...

LOOK OUT!!! you make some great hardware!

Bliz if you have the means could you post a pic of the Gags when you get it?

Thanks

Chris

Will do!...

Bliz...Sounds like my reccomendation worked....:D
