Hello my name is Bob Norton and my brother is Glenn. I posted here a few weeks ago looking for a mentor in my area (Point Pleasant NJ). We met up with one of your fellow builders Bill Charleston for some fine instruction in plug building. We met at Bill's shop 4 times to make our first plugs. We were so fortunate to have Bill. His shop was the best and he was a great instructor. This site has given me and my brother a great start in plug building. Words can not express our gratitude for Bill's stepping up and lending a hand to get us started. We are putting together our shop this weekend and in the coming weeks. We have a new Turncrafter Pro/w extension, and maybe a Vega 5200 in the future. We had other tools needed as we also carved decoys for competition and to gun over. I am posting pictures of our first plugs. Mine is the Blue one, and my brothers is the Yellow one. My brother is pictured with Bill in Bills shop. Again thanks to you guys and especially Bill, we are on our way to yet another addiction. Comments on our first plugs are welcome. More pictures as we start our own turnings.

Bob
