Dust? What's dust? Try a wood stove, a pellet stove, 2 cats, a dog, and a 5 year old in perpetual motion. Damn near impossible to keep dust off them. Looking good so far. Tick tock, tick tock . P.

I learned so much, mostly what not to do, that I probably would not have if not pushed by a deadline and the fact they are going to others. When is the next swap

It only took you 2 years of asking questions to finish your first one

I think our boss is on year 4 though......

Was it 2 years. Holy crap, I am slow. You know how machinist's are Dave. I over analyze everything. Got to know every aspect of every operation before you make a cut. Plus everything I make at work is so damn fussy I had to learn how to overlook even the smallest imperfection or I wouldn't even finish one.

Woohoo.... epoxied all of them up last night, just drying now..
Tail hooks are tied, I am done
This was a good thing for me, I like knowing a bunch of great guys are gonna have a plug of mine. They may not be 100% perfect, but I will say I am happy with them for the most part. They will catch, so they better be fished Hoping to get them in the mail at the end of the week.

Used hard and put away dirty....
