When I build a style for the first time, I make a half dozen bodies, for lips, I start with one roughly the width of the body and go smaller , larger and longer... each plug gets a differant shape or diameter... I'll also play with the weighting at this time taping the weight in place... six bodies gives me a start... then I work from there...I make lips out of both lexan and titanium as well as stainless... titanium works gret on smaller hand carves because it adds very little weight...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
