How many different plug builders do you have plugs from?

I have a huge amount of plugs built by other plug builders from the sites it isn't funny not commercial plugs, custom I mean.

How many do you guys have?
I'll tell in a little bit.
But one builder I do not have any, not one plug of , kinda surprises me

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Raven,
I still owe you a plug I promised you for offering some help on my shed project. I didn't forget, I'm just stuck in slow motion...

Surprisingly less than I would have thought, about eighteen different builders...
Obvious voids in the display I would like to fill include Manzi, Tagger, Slip, Flap, Numbskull, Eastendlou, Freak, and PNG (fricken' #^&#^&#^&#^& ho'd a beautiful Roman nike Chris gave me last MSBA show.... saw it and then had to watch him lose it...) I would say that a third have come via S-B fundraisers, a third bought, and the rest came through generousity of friends met though this site. Over three years, I have only finished maybe a dozen plugs, so haven't had the goods to swap with. They suck, so half have gone to locals who think their good. The rest I just keep moving the weight around to see if they'll ever swim right. Easier to try and ho...
As I stated in another thread, I get more enjoyment seeing them hung on the exposed beams in this room, so if I only have one from a builder, it likely is going to live on display. More than one, then I'm gonna fish the others hard.
