Thanks for all the info

I would like to start this with a big thanks to all of you on this site. I have been lurking for the last year or so and have been amassing a large collection of lure building tools and have just recently begun to use them. The info I have gathered from here should make the building at least do-able. I got a cheap lathe from H-D and all the other goodies and gadgets to pretty much do it all. I even built a plug spinner for clearcoating, and all this just from allof your info. I use the plug building as an excuse with my wife because "Plugs are so expensive nowadays." I'm just glad she doesn't know how expensive saving money really is. When I finish some plugs if I can figure out my camera I will post some pictures. Again, Thanks to everyone for some great info.

Once you start building you can't stop it is definately a sickness only slowed down by fishing season each year.
