Where can I pick up plug making supplies - eyes, thru-wires, paint, etc. ??? I'm close to Foxboro but will travel, especially if it's on the way over there.

Never used these b4 so

Get the wire in bulk from a welders supply. Most of us use 1/16 316L stainless steel. The eyes you can get online or the bears den in tauntn has some. You can even get them at craft stores.
Here is a couple of links to some plug building supply places

I am sure some others will chime in. You can use colorado blades for swimming lips. you can try an upholstery supply shop for grommets.
