Year 2 lessons to learn

Well, year 2 of my plugbuilding is under my belt and I have many lessons left to learn:

1) sharp tools: I tried to sharpen my tools but one was getting dull and I was too lazy to sharpen again. caught the wood and gave myself a nice wound... Self - dont get lazy, sharpen your tools

2) If I am in a hurry with limited time, don't get started because holes don't line up, measurements are wrong, missing steps... lots of firewood

3) Although that eTex looks dry, man don't let them things touch each other for 24 hours because they stick to each other like crazy glue (but a torch works wonders to smooth it out!)

4) When the hanger gets glued into the hole of the tailweight by the eTex, you may not be able to get it out and chances are you will draw blood while trying. Haven't figured this one out yet

5) put the split ring, swivel, and hook together before thredding the through wire (don't laugh I can be slow on the simple stuff)

Now it is time to fish! Here are this year's builds:
