BF and Frank, did you cut the front of the pencil on a bandsaw? The bottom looks like you maybe used a drum sander???
I would be really interested in seeing some jigs for cutting different plug blanks on a band saw.
No luck on selling the Shopsmith, so am going to use it for the lathe and boring. Maybe get a mini and duplicator next year....
Not getting the lathe turning yet, as we are in the process of packing up my mom's condo and moving her to a retirement community this week, and storing much stuff at my house... I hope to be turning within two weeks. |

Ross, here is what I use for pencil faces. Just rough out the angle with a saw and make the face with this angled v block (glued up 2 4x4's). |

Fred you need some acid brushes? I will bring you some at plugfest as I got a lot of them and I am using something different now. You are welcome some of them. Then you can leave them everywhere. BTW I do that all the time, especially the pencil on my ear thing.

Glad you guys like. I feel the key is the slow drying paint. Testers spray enamel and the Krlon Short cuts set up to touch in 30 min. The 12 min spray colors tack quickly when you remove the wrap or slide thru your latex gloved hand. Gotta go. Will ck. in later. Have a sparkling week.

probably why Musso went to plastic, too many variables. maybe only worth sealing for a short time line and take your chances with water intrusion.

That could be done with a drum sander in a drill press, too! Woohoo! Thanks Lu!

And looking at your extension cord set up I wonder why you're still alive. Stay away from toaster ovens is all I can say.

Morning guys. started painting the army of plugs. An endless task, especially when you have airbrush hell. finally search threads on brush remedies. Cutting paint w/50/50 windex and water worked much better than straight water. Plus I was using to thick of consisitency. The single stage gun was used for base coats and top/bottom colors. Dual stage for fogging and lateral lines. I use the Bernzy formula for cleaning. Lucky for myself I have a utility sink w/in reach of my airbrush to clean out w/air and hot water. Had the heat gun set up to set the paint. Don't know if necessary but I like the way the paint dries to faciitate a second coat or color overlay. Haven't spun anything inweeks. Prepping the plugs to get ready for paint took all spare time. I have a template made for a GTS-2 & GTS-3. Hope everyone had a good week.

Morning guys! PB......the cleaning mix is a mix of simple green, windex and water......25/25/and 50. I do not heat set my paint......never felt the need so save yourself the step. I try to lay the body of my paint on in stages while still damp with the exception of detail like dots/spots and eye shading. Be careful when building layers because if you get too heavy the air pressure will "blow out" your paint and ruin it. Just offering a little help. When we gonna see some pics???  |

Alot of people do Paul. I have just never felt the need. My bonding is great even after hook rash sets in and they get beat there is no paint failure/lifting. Just trying to let folks know it may be a wasted step. Different strokes for different folks.

Paul, did you see the picture recently posted someplace with 2 of Stan's weights and a popper, that showed it pretty well. Looked like 45 degrees, and the shoulder was more than a 1/16". I figured you say that, guess I should have saved it. Doesn't Peter have some?
I should be home till noon, so call my cell
ya no Pats, I know 
I have some auto-air black paint I have to heatset that. |

Paul, I bumped up the prototype thread, there is a pic of the weight there
not sure if it needs to be quite that big of a shoulder but you get the idea
I have your counter here

Here is the Floyd Roman Nike Jr. I have been working on! As you know Paul gave me one of his blanks (pictured in primer) which he copied from an original so I hand turned mine and it came out perfect I think! The curves on these plugs are super sexy! Paul likes the "old school" look of his belly grommets tight to the body (which I love too) but I could not resist setting my grommets into the body for a sleek look! I will seal this plug, prime and I am debating color choice but am leaning towards my bunker pattern! I think this pattern lends itself well to the swooping shape of the body! Of course I am going to have to turn some more! Also will be turning some smaller versions of the Nike shortly! Thanks again Paul! |

I also got my darter machining done so i got a few done. Now to seal and throw in the ocean to see if they come in right side up. Shape wise they are exact and I am very happy with the results but still nervous they will not swim right but won't know till they get wet. so far so good. I also have a few Pichneys coming on loan so I can copy a few of those too.
I have no less than 6, new to me, vintage Pichney and Musso plugs i am copying this year. A few gentleman have been very generous in lending me the plugs. This is why i am behind this year as i have been spending more time on these, and to me that is the fun part. I will eventually get them all done but it will be a little later this year.
