I put a piece of tape on my tool rest and put marks on it for end of plug and major/minor diameters. All my blanks are the same length and if they are center drilled I do that first. This makes it so you can set up for drilling and drill them all right/wrong at once. Make the blank a cylinder, use the skew to define the ends, gouge again to get close to shape, skew to clean up, sand. I usually lay the plug I am making or a picture behind the lathe so I can match the curves. Depends on how good your eye is if that will work for you.
