first run turned out swell!!
afterhours - you were right, I didnt need to bolt it down.
I used the 1" skew, 1" gouge mostly.
A little bit with the 1/2" gouge.
I am going to make a center marking jig tomorrow.
First plug I chunked something fierce as I got used to the feel of the tool against the wood. I cut too deep and ended up snapping off one end! So, I put it in my mitre box and cut off the chunky bitts and started again.
It has been sanded with medium grit and then with 220
I need to ho some hardware now.
grommets, lips, wire, lead, swivels, snaprings, hooks ..
I have a fly tyin kit so once I get this part down I will try my hand at tyin my own tail hooks.
heres how my first plugs look so far:
