Learning curve

Well, thought I would start a new thread on beginning to learn to build plugs. Today I began to paint the Danny's. One is pine from a 2x2 and the other I made from leftover wood from an oak hand rail. The pine takes paint fantastic, the oak doesnt want to hold the paint in the grain.

The other picture... I decided to use the other Oak to play around with two small 4 1/2" swimmers and one 5" needle. I drilled out the butt of the needle for a weight and drilled close to the front for the weight on the swimmers. should be interesting to experiment with these.

back to the real world and work tomorrow.

Hookset.
