This is a close-up of the attachment I use to spin my plugs. I purchased the motor from Cabela's for $21.99. Any slow rpm motor will work, this one is 4 rpm which is good because I apply the finish while the plug is spinning. I assemble my plugs with weight,swivels and wire before I do any painting or finishing because I don't want the paint carved up while the plug is clamped in a vise twisting off the thru wire, even with rubber pads on the jaws. I hold my plugs by the tail loop of wire with vice grips during the painting process. The attachment was made by a friend out of aluminum but I'm sure one made out of hardwood would be fine. It's about 3/4" square and 2 1/2" long with a bandsaw kerf run 1" into the middle. A small nut and bolt applies the pressure to hold the plug.
