I'll PM you a link to Mr Pogies thread on this subject (one that still has pictures). Basically you layout the shape, rough out some waste with a saw, sand back to the linetie level with a sanding drum, then tilt the plug up or down to cut the sweep back to the layout lines.
There is a lot more to it than the thread explains, getting the curve correct and how you weight the plug changes things a lot, but the actual shaping by a sanding drum, after roughing out most of the waste is pretty easy.
