Go to the hardware store and buy some "piano wire" from the metal rack (or 1/8" brass rod if you drilled 5/32). Get a size that is less than your thru drilled hole. It is very stiff and you can spin 3-4 plugs on a 36" section. Find a way to attach it to your spinner and support it with a rod support or two. Put some small bends in it to keep tension on the plug so they don't spin on the rod. Do the card trick for the lip slots. If you had a way to attach several rods together you could spin a line of plugs.
