It is doubtful that you will save any money making your own plugs. As long as it is an enjoyable hobby, that is not a problem. The benifits are that you can design plugs specifically for the areas you fish and the way you like to fish. I would start out with the kits as Bernzy suggests. Its a great way to get a feel for what it takes to make a plug, plus you'll have something that will work rather than sawdust. If you want to jump in from the start, you can do poppers with just a pocket knife, sandpaper, and hardwood dowels from homies. After that, lathe, drill press, belt sander, etc. will soon be in your shop. Remember the safety gear too, face shield and dust mask.
