Tobias, I'm on track to have everything in hand to you at the plugaholics meeting. I'm bringing my sponsor w me. :hihi: Thanks for manning this whole operation! :cheers:

Well at least I am not the only one. I have most turned, well all turned and then a few mistakes to correct. Starting to sand and shape.... I will make it but it will be close. I love the pics of the plugs they are keeping me going

You guys make me feel like an amature...I built small spooks one color. Not sophisticated, but the proto probably has 100 fish on it....

Now to obtain hooks.....

Fishpart, never underestimate a small spook.:beat:

Wiring 6 or 7 a night. Thank gawd for digger. :angel:

Sorry boys , I really put my foot in my mouth this time .
I've been working 70+ hours a week for the last 7 weeks and this was my first 2 day weekend .

Warm wishes .

Anyone who works that many hours a week deserves a couple nice days of weather.

Finally got mine turned today.It only took a nor easter :scream:

Plugs went out this morning .:happy:
JB

My girlfriend and I painted mine last night, I'm calling the color "powerplant pogie". They actually look pretty cool. I tried a bunch of new ideas, techniques and coatings on these, so hopefully you guys will fish them and (god willing) catch a few fish. Now its onto clear and I hope I hope I hope... I get my lips from NJT in time.

I'm done, will ship in next few days.:rotf3:
You guys better fish mine...When the Herring are around...

Tick tock, Tick tock.

Tick tock, Tick tock.

oh yeah......4 DAYS LEFT:jump:

:drool: right to the wire :)

Of course it's the only way. Mine will be postmarked Fri.

I'm screwed.

Of course it's the only way. Mine will be postmarked Fri.
:hihi: Mine will be next to yours then :rollem:

Continue without me or wait....gonna be another week.:uhoh:

Sorry!:rollem:

Are you guys signing your plugs?

If I sign mine they won't be ready for another month so....no!:rolleyes: :laugha:

Are you guys signing your plugs?

I got my trademark on mine, most are legible, unless the damn scratch coat smooged them, had a couple get a little runny, (cause I didn't wait long enuf :doh:)... just cleared on. can still tell it's my mark tho.

I started to paint some yesterday,if i can get some time this week i should have them painted and start to epoxy and have them done by next monday."God willing and the creek don't rise"

I can wait till all you guys are completed, I won't be fishing them anytime soon anyway. Looking forward to seeing them though , as most of us are.

I didn't sign mine since it was a colaborative effort.
I don't sign all my plugs anyway.

As much as I'd like to be rolling in plugs on the floor, it's still a while before we can fish them. We have time. I can find the strength somewhere.:err:
I signed mine with a paint pen.

mine will be postmarked friday.

I'm signing mine as we speak... with shaaapie. C'mon guys... pull this off and it will be the 1st swap I've ever seen that only had to be pushed back once. Lets get going here :lasso: :zup:

i'll help out anybody who's having paint problems.
only two hours from sealed wood to clear so no problem for me..
come bye the heated shop,, or ship 'em to me and i'll ship 'em back in your colors..

Shipped mine yesterday, Tobias dont run for the hills when you get a package of diapers, much more than diapers in that box. Had a few quality control issues with the epoxy mainly a 3 year old blowing on them stirring up some dust but they still look 99.5% great. Hope everyone enjoys them.

Any chance of you taking a "Group Photo", of all them plugs, before you pack 'em? and posting it someplace on the site?

Talk about plug overload....make an amazing photo tho....

Mabeee the commander in chief can take a group photo when he gets his package.

Andy, wait till you start sorting boxes out..... gets to be a little bit of a pain in the neck having to hold out the plug the builder made. :rotf2: Especially 22 boxes worth.

I was thinking of a shot of alllllll ---> 529 :D

a 23 shot, from the boss, would be cool too.

He's gonna need to rent a cherry picker to get them all in the shot :laugha:

Had a few quality control issues with the epoxy mainly a 3 year old blowing on them stirring up some dust
Dust? What's dust? Try a wood stove, a pellet stove, 2 cats, a dog, and a 5 year old in perpetual motion. :rollem: Damn near impossible to keep dust off them. Looking good so far. Tick tock, tick tock . P.

I said the same thing....But it was still fun and I enjoyed it....I can also make those poppers in my sleep now..:D

I know I am kinda out of my league with all you guys, i shoulda hit the rookie swap. WTF was I thinking..
Thats how you stretch and improve your building methods. A little pressure is good for you . don't worry about it .. :kewl:

I learned so much, mostly what not to do, that I probably would not have if not pushed by a deadline and the fact they are going to others. When is the next swap :laughs:
:hang:

It only took you 2 years of asking questions to finish your first one:spidey:

I think our boss is on year 4 though......:faga:

Was it 2 years. Holy crap, I am slow. You know how machinist's are Dave. I over analyze everything. Got to know every aspect of every operation before you make a cut.:smash: Plus everything I make at work is so damn fussy I had to learn how to overlook even the smallest imperfection or I wouldn't even finish one.:hs:

I feel your pain Paul.:smash:

IT'S EPOXY DAY

To the Post Office.:drool:

Woohoo.... epoxied all of them up last night, just drying now.. :)
Tail hooks are tied, I am done :humpty:
This was a good thing for me, I like knowing a bunch of great guys are gonna have a plug of mine. They may not be 100% perfect, but I will say I am happy with them for the most part. They will catch, so they better be fished:D Hoping to get them in the mail at the end of the week. :beat:

4th batch flipin' now. They are the extra's I did. That will make 29. So far so good. Got enough now but I can weed out the ones I don't like tomorrow. Mail on Friday. No more clock watching.

Mailed mine out yesterday.;)

Finished painting last nite epoxy going on this weekend.
