This is a basic case scenario building a basic plug......there are many other steps given the particular plug one is building but there is an incredible amount of time involved, as Capesams states, in building a plug. If you are doing say 100 of the same plug, sure you do each step 100 times each step all at one time, one step at a time but its still alot of time be it 1 plug or 500 plugs. I estimate there are a minimum of 40 steps to each plug I make and there are a few more steps I do in regards to sanding eyes if I need to round them down smooth....I admit to being a fanatic. Slice it up any way you want......they take a boat load of time to make if made correctly.
