New Guy's Plug

Hi Guys, I'm new to plug building, been watching, reading and doing searches here for a couple of months and really enjoying what you guys post and share, I'd planned to get to Plugfest to really get a look and meet the pro's but my plans were sabotaged, anyway, I completed my first plug start to finish, I hand carved it.. completed over the weekend and swam it today and was really pleased, I'm sticking to kits and carving for now and maybe jump into the lathe next winter...PEACE..., Scott

Very nice work, Scott. When I finally finish one, I'm going to be the only first time plug builder here who actually posts a plug that looks like it was made by a first timer.
