Me. I'll be over in the corner running the raffle as usual. Trying to trade a few plugs during the day.

I'll be there, turned 94 assorted plugs this week with help from some friends.

Don't know how many I'll get done for plugfest due to work and my painting area being colder than it should.

Do have a few gold leafs done and in the epoxy stages.

A few plugs for some people if they make it.

Hopefully I'll have a lot of trade bait ready.

Some PVC plugs done from last year too.

Talked about going for the last three years but this will be my first one.

Looking forward to meeting people.

I'll be at plugfest but I really haven't been doing too much building this year. I just don't seem to me as motivated as in years past.

I spun some stuff a few weeks ago and I've got most of that drilled and sealed, they'll be ready by the time the fish get here but I doubt much of it will be done by plugfest..

I built a lot of stuff last year that I still need to fish.

I'll be making every effort to attend. Sorry you won't be there Scott.... Haven't made it in three years. Only hitch is that is my twins' 18th bday...

As for getting plugs done, I got over the biggest hurdle getting back into it; I picked up a Jet mini yesterday in NH, and Striperman Bill picked up my old Shopsmith this morning. Good to see you Bill! Just turned first spook body after cleaning up the machine. Now to get the skews and gouges sharpened up. Spin for a week, drill and seal for a week, and then paint.... which is my most challenging step. Will also have to order up some hardware as the drawers are pretty thin.....
