Cool Am I Crazy Swap... revised

I'm not sure how many of you read my previous post and passed it by because the work load would be too big. Well, we have reached a compromise that lightens the load a bit.

The swap will have 4 categories from which each person will choose 2.

1. Realistic Paint Job - Best shot at a realistic finish
2. One For The Nutbag - Crazy Plugs.. use your imagination
3. Original Creation - Something new or original
4. Most Productive Homemade - Plug that produces best for you

The swap is open to 10 people and the building deadline is March 21st. Depending on how many sign-ups we get each builder will build a plug for each person in the swap plus one more that will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to JohnR to benefit this site.

If anyone has any further suggestions please feel free to make them. I can't wait to see what comes out of this.

So far the list looks like this

Canalman
Slipknot
Christian
Newell Guy
Chumbucket

Yes I am in, but would like to see it left at 6 people. This still means 14 plugs ( I think if I am doing my math correctly)

Why 16 plugs? If we send in 7 plugs for each of the 2 catagories we chhose, that leaves 1 for John and 6 for everyone else

I'm not going to send you one set of my 2 so you can send it back to me that is why 14 is enough.

I have the first batch all primed and ready for paint.

Unfortunately Bassmaster has to drop out so that's one less plug we have to send for each catagory but it's an extra one for me to keep

How about you Dave?
