Sweet, Those look most pissah :kewl:

that's right about where i'm at with mine right now, All spun, drilled, Lip-slots and Eyes. Glued the weights in last night so I can hit'em with some wood putty tonight. Hope to have them sealed by the weekend.

Nothing better than Xmas in March

Yours is one plug I will miss out on not being in the swap this year. A#1 stuff

PatrickD 12-18-2006 03:47 PM

Have no fear Paul.
I made extras and a few different styles from which you may choose:hihi:
You can even request custom paint....

Don't worry jklett, you've got plenty of time.
I just found myself with a few hours to spare yesterday morning when the wife went out to finish up some Christmas stuff.

Leave me alone in my basement and the cedar chips are gonna fly!!
I've got a lot more plugs to spin before I get around to finishing these.
This is the other bench that needs to be cleaned before I even start to seal, prime, paint and finish.:lossinit:

I've been spending the last few weekends cleaning my shop between honeydo projets.I'm just about done cleaning and organizing but now i have to decide what plug to turn.:shocked:

PatrickD 12-20-2006 08:34 AM

Eastendlu.
Did ya notice the gromittizer featured prominently on the bench right next to the dust collector remote??
I love that thing:kewl:

Digger

eastendlu 12-20-2006 09:21 AM

Yes i saw it and i'm glad you like it.I have a few more toys i have to show you sometime perhaps after the holidays.;)

ProfessorM 12-20-2006 10:38 AM

I see it. Mine version is not as pretty as yours, but I hate being in the shop anymore than I have too.:doh: After last nite I wonder what the hell i was thinking 30 years ago. :smash: :smash: Nice job lu.:claps:

eastendlu 12-20-2006 10:45 AM

I feel the same way paul ,must be that middle age change of pace thing.How do i get that dreamjob like being a Van Staal reel tester :rotf2:

PatrickD 12-20-2006 10:51 AM

Luis,

I don't post much, but I read just about all of this board and the other one too. I know you've been busy making tools and I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve.:btu:

BTW, Gary2 was in my shop the other day and I think I've converted him to gromittizin' instead of countersinkin'.

Digger

eastendlu 12-20-2006 11:12 AM

I just sent Gary something i hope he got it.

PatrickD 12-20-2006 11:15 AM

He did get it 2 days ago. He's ready to start turnin and burnin:cool:

Thanks Patrick for giving him that info too

PatrickD 12-20-2006 12:39 PM

No problem Professor.
He saw me using mine and quickly recognized obvious benefits.

Plugs are looking good Digger. We should start some kind of Moass thread so we can post pics and have some fun along the way. Like a picture of all my wood sitting in a corner...

PatrickD 12-21-2006 10:02 AM

Sounds good to me Lower.!
To a builder, even a pile of raw wood is interesting:spin:

I also see a section of running rail. Are you using that as an anvil?

PatrickD 12-21-2006 04:19 PM

Nice catch John.:kewl:
Yeah, I cut a couple of sections of old freight rail that I use for anvils. That's the shortie. Those rails have some great angles. They are especially good for workin' plug lips.
