Rookie Swap?
 

Get back from sales meetings all week to find I missed my oppurtunities at the swaps. That sucks. Oh well, I'm still in the early stages of building anyway, so I probably would have chickened out.

Is their any interest in a Rookie swap? I've been building for a year and have made some nice plugs. Swim well, look nice and catch fish, but still feel like a newbie/rookie. Anyone else out their in my shoes? or is everyone but me already in a swap?

I'd be all in on the rookie swap. Haven't been building for long but have some nice stuff. Lets get on it. PB

rookie
 

I'm working on some plugs now and wood love to get in, whats the time line same as the other swap?I'm interested.ed :eyes:

I'm thinking we mimic the other swaps. End of Jan, beginning of Feb due date. I kind of like the idea of the mini swap. 6 guys, 2 styles, 12 plugs total. I guess it depends on how many respond. If we do the 12 plug thing...we only need 3 more guys.

I'm new to this swap thing, so we'll learn as we go.

I like the idea of six guys, twelve plugs each. Feb 1st due date PB

I agree. If fishfearm61 likes the idea, we need 3 more.

sounds good
 

sounds good to me, I'm trying to make some needles tonite. heres some poppers I turned last week. the bigger ones are pine, smaller maple, I think.the other two will be 6-7 inch spooks.ed

I'm in also. Have only been turning for a few months now. Just psoted pictures of my first few completed items. Here are some more of what I'm woking on now. Just trying a little bit of everything.

True sign of the addiction, photo's of the cellar ceiling. :hee: The object of the game is to not be able to see the insulation and heating ducts eventually. Has the wife called you the cellar dweller yet.. :hee:

I'd love to get in on this swap! I've been building for a little more than a year, but took a pretty long break while I've been building my house. House is almost done, then I'm switching over to plugs again.

The wife has called me many things but cellar dweller isn't one of them yet. :bl:

Looks like we need one more.

I consider myself a rookie and would love to get in but I am already in on the super swap and have my hands full to say the least hangin with the big boys. Good luck though. Paul

I'm a rookie turner but I'm playing with the big boys too (Moriarty). I'm already over my head but if you can't get another participant by next Sunday I'm in . I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on all the fun . :rotf2:
:jump:

Thanks Kadywampus, thats a real nice gesture. We'll see what happens. Were going to pull it off one way or another, I've seen some of these guys plugs...and I want some. We may be "rookies" but the level of skill at an entry level is out of sight.

I'll join this swap.

Oh boy, the bars been risen...Striperknight is no rookie! Thanks for joining us.

So the "Rookie Swap" is Closed

Again, we will do 6 plugs of one style and 6 of another, 12 total. Like the other swaps the extra plugs will goto JohnR. Lets say Feb 1st as a deadline. This is my first swap, I'm pretty excited about it.

Since this is my first swap how does it work do we do we state ahead of time what we are doing or just do them and when we swap we find out? Really looking forward to this. :cheers:

excellent
 

my first swap :jump:

I'm both relieved and bummed that you agreed to join. I'll have less pressure to build but will miss out on another set of great pluggage .
Promise me you'll post pictures of the plugs I'm missing out on . :btu: :kewl:

My pleasure , but I knew you would find enough spinners .
I'm looking forward to seeing some great pluggage posted for viewing .
We may be new to the game but 'we got game' . :humpty: :bl:
I'll post the plugs I recieve too . :wave:

Me too , I'm so excited I could plots ! :jump:

Kadywampus, I'll still figure out how to get one of your plugs!

As for the swap...I think we should just build what were good at, and be suprised in the end. When we are done building eveyone can ship their plugs to me. I'll divide them up and ship out a package to each individual.

I'll see what I can do to sticky this with the other swaps. Then we can have some fun along the way.

Gentlemen; Enjoy it,

I'm excited! :jump:

This is great, Chrstmas in February!!! I'm going to be turnung Danny Swimmers and Sliders. Bouyah!!!!!!! PB

I got the junk stashed on my lathe table cleaned off and I'm ready to spin some wood. I plan on making these over the long holiday weekend. :bounce:
