[O.D. Mike]

Bruce, great job! I want to thank everyone involved! It was nice to put names with faces . Had lots of fun learning new techniques and checking out all the great paint.

Makai, thanks for asking me to be a part of your project!

Congrats to all of the winners!!! It was an impressive contest plug table, some real crafty builders.

Thanks to all of the builders willing to trade with me....Its going to be a fun spring!!!!!

That was the best cold pulled pork sandwich I've ever had!!!
Love those brownies......

"Tonight I learned the definition of neatness!"
It was like being in a "Crate and Barrel" photo shoot! Much fun, good beer and good company. Beamer, can't wait to work on the project!
Impressive job on the plastic guys!
Can't wait for the next time.......

Thanks to all who help put this annual event and put in the time to create, raising the bar every year! The sharing of product and thoughts is truly unique to this small, but obviously growing "hobby." My apologies to those who took my tacky crap, and were still willing to swap with me. I hope you have a fireplace to properly dispose of them... The few dry ones were designated to a few who have been so generous to me in past years when I have arrived emptyhanded. (I brought home a dozen that were too tacky to offer....)

The learning curve is steep, but the forum and Plugfest surely help stooges like me. Lesson 1. is to start earlier... I feel I am on track with turning, shapes, and paint. Now to spend some time on weighting, epoxy, and rigging skills. Still don't know where you guys all find so much time to get all this work done.
Great time. Need to clean up shop, and build some jigs before I start the next run...

Missed the weasels....
