I just had 3 days in the basement. Time to come up for air.

I finally finished my mini swap plugs. I'll try to get them out tomorrow or the next day.

I've got a batch of slim dannies turned and drilled, and I took the heat gun to a dozen plugs that were either beat up or had epoxy probs, and stripped em back to bare wood to give them a second chance. kinda cool seeing teeth marks in the wood. I've gotta go thru all my bags and see how many other do-overs I have.

I spent the rest of the weekend working out the kinks on a protype, and I turned a batch of those today. ..
