Got this in the mail today...

Technically it's not a plug but I thought you guys might appreciate the work that went into this.

As fun as wood is to turn, how cool would it be to be able to work metal like this...


My dad has a friend in FLA who offered to make me up a jig mold so I sent him down some of my jigheads last spring and forgot all about it.. Then I got this in the mail today...

The jigs have our last name embossed.: jester:


The bullet heads are 3.5, 4, 4.5 and the eelskin is just over 5.

Thumbs up

The moldmaker does some real nice work. the jigs would look better in my bag tho...

Very nice craftsmanship. That took some time.
