Two Pinchney danny profiles
I managed to get my hands on these a while ago. Just turned bodies "to match"... Bottom one isn't dead on. Have to do that one again. Remember reading on Bassdozer's site that there was a reason for the two different profiles. Can't remember what it is....
Dimensions: Front and back the same on both plugs: 15/16" nose, 11/16" tail. The top one is 6" long, shoulder centered on the plug and is 1 1/4" thick. Bottom one is 5 3/4" long, shoulder is 1 1/8" and is
3 1/2" back from the nose.
Top plug has weight centered at 3". The bottom one doesn't appear to be weighted.
Both weigh 2 ounces, so the bottom one must be made of slightly denser wood.

From reading the same bassdozer article, I think the bottom plug was called a "bootleg" because it was a copy of a successful Musso shape. It may also have been made of maple. It sounds as if there was a maple Musso swimmer, so perhaps Pinchney copied it. I've never made a maple swimmer (other than an eel), but maybe it is worth a try.

It's also appears that the back hook is slightly more forward on the bottom plug. Is that correct and can you see a wt hole? Where is it in relation to regular Danny? Thanks.

One more question (you can tell I'm excited), are the lips similar, or does the bottom plug have a higher wire position? I'll shut up now.

I have a hunch that the different profiles are for casting. the one with the widest part twards the rear is a better caster.
nice stuff  |

Lips aren't identical....
Funny how sometimes you don't see what's right in front of you.
Was cutting lip slots in the two pieces I turned yesterday and discovered that the plug with the shoulder set to the back of the plug has a high slot for the thru wire and the slot is cut slightly above center. The other one has a low lip slot and teh slot is cut on the centerline of the plug. I'll post picture as soon as the camera battery recharges....
Also, the dimension at the front of the rear shouldered plug is 7/8", not 15/16" (The green and white plug).

I'd be very interested. Maybe you can bring them to the plugfest. Could you also please post or PM me the placement of the hook holes on the bottom plug? I appreciate your help.

Numbskull, I'll bring them with me.... Want me to post pics and dimensions in the meantime?
Was thinkng that I hadn't posted hook placement. I'll do that this evening. Got to get to the Honey Do list for the rest of the afternoon :-)
