Most of the custom plug builders I’ve met are just selling plugs to support their hobby and because people are asking them for the plugs. It’s hard to make any real money, even at $20.00 a plug. When you factor in the cost of material, and the labor time to shape, seal, finish, and assemble the plug your talking third world wages with the equipment the average home plug builder is using.
Another point is these custom builders will help to push the real commercial builders to improve their products. Who knows, maybe one of the builders on this site will become the next Stan Gibbs. Any way it goes it's great to see people enjoying their hobby and at the same time giving the rest of us an opportunity to obtain some quality products if we want.
