Plug get together 2003 pt.II
 

OK, so we have a whole lotta people coming to this thing. Time to discuss some other things.
I'll be ready by 9:00 so you can come anytime from 9-10 or whenever you can make it and we'll hang untill 4-5 or so like last time.
If any of you can carpool I'd appreciate it, I'll clear the driveway and if it's not wet, the front yard is ok too, otherwise park along the road somewhere.
I have a grille if anyone wants to burn some grub, there has been some talk of some interested in going to the all you can eat Buffet next to Victory supermaket on rt.28 to have some eat-a-thon or some contest between BM and fishweewee, so if any want to go there for luch that's fine by me. We can also order Pizza like last time. I'll be sure to have some homemade brownies again and have cold sodas and water, BYOB.

Now I know that a few guys will bring stuff to sell so bring money to spend and if you want plug building supplies maybe Habs or capesams can help with some stuff so ask them. Got Stripers may bring an assortment of his rubba also. I'm not positive if anyone else will have anything for sale.

I know mrpogie wants to give a demonstration on the bottle swimmer lips so that will happen by the drill press. If anyone else wants to demonstrate anything, by all means go right ahead. And bring some plugs to demo or copy or just show off :)
I will try to have a bunch of plugs the same in various stages of completion to show a step by step for those who are just getting started( I was so busy last year I didn't get a chance)
If anyone wants to bring a lathe or atleast bring your turning chisels, that would be great, so far I have a mini grizzly and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& said he'd bring his and BM will bring his Jet and his mini and also I hope his bandsaw and maybe sander too. So there may only be room for 1 or 2 more lathes

I'll have tables setup and benches cleared. There also is a paint room with ventilation for the painting process, we won't have to compete with Got Stripers rubba pouring this year ;)

I just ask that everyone be respectful of others tools or plugs and try to use BM's mini-lathe for sanding which will be by the dust collector to try and keep the dust down to breathable levels.

It's good to see the interest in this thing and I look forward to it. It will be good to see some of you again and finally meet the others. :)Hopefully I won't have a shop full of custom kitchen cabinets in the way

:smash: at the time of this thing, but I am starting a very large job soon. I'll make room though.

So I'll see you all next year, Jan. 4th

Slip....

Yur a brave man. See ya then, and thanks! :happy: :happy: :happy:

Bruce I will bring my Delta if you like, my chisels, and if I can get proficiant with the duplicator, and get some templates made I will bring that also.

CS I will have that body you so graciously let me borrow.

I will also bring some cash ;) If you can think of anything else you might need let me know, if I have it I will bring it.

OOps almost forgot Tony can ride with me, and anyone else coming from up north can as well.

would anyone like me to bring some batson rod blanks along...cheap,,,,as well as some other brands, would like to clear out the pile I have collected over the years...all new, not used. VERY short $.

Got Cash ---need plugs////////////////////////////////

sounds good SLIP and yes CAPES bring some blanks;)

I'll take a rainshadow 1087 please.
check yer pm

CS,
Yes bring the blanks!

Also,
I have collected approx 80-100lbs of stainless steel over the past couple of weeks. 24 gauge(.023") and 22 gauge(.0275-.029). I can get it heavier too if needed? It has all been cut in very manageable pieces.

I will have it with me and anyone in need of some is more than welcome to it!!

I plan on leaving the duplicator on my mini lathe so people can see how this thing works too.

I will have plastic, hooks, jigs with me, so if anyone has any special requests let me know.

Can someone bring a lead melting pot/pourer if possible so we can make some lead inserts for needles and poppers. I have a mold(bassmaster will bring it) and lead, we just need a way to melt it and pour it. Thanks
Post here so no need for 6 people to bring one :smash:

I have a small one I can bring, long as you ain't pourin 3 oz bank sinkers :D

I was wondering what you guys might be interested in, can bring wire, swivels, gromets,lips, etc, .......................

yes habs, all that an some of those hard ta find ATOMS.:drool:

Mr. Habs, I would hope to buy some lips. I don't know what kinda sizes you have, but I'm presently using stuff from 1" to 1-3/8" max. width. Nor do I know your prices but I'm assuming I'd want about $40 worth, which has everything to do with my budget and nothing to do with your prices..... :) Thanks!

CapeSams,

There aint too many of the "hard to find ones" left.:laughs: :smash:

well ....If u didn't get to them first , I might stand a chance of mayb getting just 1......hint:p :D

SLIP, The wife making them BROWNIES I HOPE, She MAKES the BEST.......................

You bettcha John, she'll make a double batch :D

Ball Rasp
 

If anyone has one that is coming, could someone bring along a ball-rasp for a drill attachment to round out the face of poppers? Please

Thanks

Bruce,

I will not be attending the "Plug-Get-Together".

..regretfully,

Gilly~

Sorry Bloocrab :( maybe next time

For those interested bringing 2 different size front gromets and 2 different size rear ones..............

:kewl: thxs.

food for lunch
 

How about if I make a Jambalaya dish for us to eat? I can pick the stuff up at the market on thursday and cook it on the grille outside or on the stovetop if someone has already thought of bringing venison burgers or something to cook on the grille.

So what will it be? if 25-30 people show up , we may need to get pizza also, but I will have drinks and Jambalaya.

Fishweewee, I think Dave wants to have the jambalaya stuff and forget the buffet thing. You guys can count how many bowls you can eat or something.

SLIP is that a good idea , we will all be making FLOATERS

found it:P U funny bastage;)

sounds good Slip, we can all contribute somethin too bubba.

phaaart

Can you guys use any DEER TAILS............

how much? Colors?

hold off on them lips for me Jhabs they might be too small.

OK Salty, bringing LARGE also, All those who attend will recive a swimmer blank to make...................

ok, bring some extra, if they right size I take them.

Hey John, bring everything, grommets, eyelets, eyes, swivels, lips....Me need lots of stuff!:D

Bruce I think I got a small ball rasp. If I bring some WRC can we use the table saw to rip it. Won't be much.

Slip....whats u think about chargin $2.00 a head to get into this thing of yours, so it'll help pay for elect,heat,wood,tools when we all leave an the shop is bare:smash: I know..I know don't givem any ideas. Or better yet, we'll all line up an give ya wife a big kiss an thank you for puten up with us. Some may even give u a kiss:eek: :laughs:

Bring a plug
 

ADMISSION FEE IS ONE PLUG! thank you

especially since I gave out way too many last year:rolleyes:

The table saw will be available for ripping purposes, I advise that anyone turning red westrn cedar to do it on the lathe with dust collection so as not to get others sick. I have a box of dust masks for those who want one but we should try to keep the dust down to a minimum. Bill I think mrpogie has the rasp thing covered, thanks.

JHABS, bring bucktails if ya got them. That's a nice offer to bring swimmer bodies:)

If you want to contribute in another way whether it's food or drink, that is fine in leiu of a plug.

thanks everyone:happy:

the second annual Slipfest will commence this sat.

SLIP, will bring a snack, don't think I can make enough FLOATERS for everyone....................

Wassamatter john, you don't like hot dogs and beans? We can can down the street for pizza again too. I'll have a floater for you:D
