Cedar plug lead mold

Jim,
When I was spinning more wood than I am now, I thought about it and looked around... never found one. I was going to make one out of plaster just for a few pours but never got around to it...

I was thinking of taking an egg sinker and cutting it in half but it is not exactly what I was looking for or taking a trolling sinker and drilling out the center, that might be a closer match.
I would rather have an aluminum mold of the real thing

yeah, but I'm broke  Plaster is cheap.
I tried the egg sinker thing, and plug bodies I had turned needed more lead... probably should have drilled out the through hole and added some plug tail weights.... I was toying with a stubbier squid shape... good luck |

Jim if I had the time I would help you out but I got too much going on right now, as usual, and Slip is still waiting for a mold I promised him weeks ago. A blank do it mold is the easiest way to go but you still need to find someone to machine that long tapered end for you. Does the wood body fit down into the lead or does the lead go up inside the wood kind of like a tail wgt with an exposed tapered section or does the wood body just butt up against the lead? I am really not sure how that plug is assembled. If you can wait till spring I may be able to help you out but that is as good a time line as i can give you. There are a few other machinist's on this site so may be they will be able to help you out. Paul

Paul,
cool! I am not in a rush or panic mode. Just another back burner idea. I'll touch base later in the spring. By then will take some photos and show you how it is assembled.
