Paul - you are a craftsman. I was impressed when I saw one of them at M&D, but seeing them finished I now can only say WOW. Beautiful work. You have to give me a lesson on offset turning.

I'll second that! I know from firsthand experience how difficult it is to get those right, quite an accomplishment, Chris.

Hi friend
sweet plugs

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Here are my first plugs ever - turned them Saturday - big thanks to Baystalker for the lessons - especially the safety warnings!!!!!

This Danny shrunk & shrunk - here is whats left



This one the tail is flared - I was scared of catching an edge which I did




This one was a mistake After rounding I gouged too much - had to reverse the stock and try to save it. We'll see


Ride the spiral to the end...............

Thumbs up

Islander, that one is just asking for it!
