I suppose so Frank, if that's what you have to do,
but most of us make the complete plug ourselves |

yea someone could argue its says plug building forum ... not plug painting forum .. I would hope any entrys would have had to go through the thought process of weighting , thru wiring or rigging, lip selection if a metal lip,, and some testing . Some peoples painting skills are stella but its more than that ..

Maybe there should be a category for "rebuilds". Why squash a guy's creativity?

Thats a good entry level idea .. But keep it seperate from the scratch builder who's wracking his brain trying to make something that swims decent .. |

I'm of the mind set that it is best to let the fish do the voting.

you won't upset my apple cart 
if you want, come over here and use my lathe, it does a good job of collecting dust, machines are meant to be used. I'm home all weekend |

I wonder if anyone has done this that you don't know of, because no one ever asked everybody who entered plugs.
I wasn't talking about re-painting but starting from scratch with a blank and doing all the work. I'll wait till next year. |
