What software did you use to make the drawing? I think everyone would benefit from the ability to make drawings of a favorite plug.
Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,totally worn out, shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!!
Here's a quick video on using Excel to do this. It was recorded as a WebEx then converted to a .wmv to upload to YouTube. Quality isn't great but hopefully it will give you a starting point if you want to try it.
Thats what im talking about!!! Thanks for more than we asked for!! Outstanding video!! Whats your address? That rates a plug delivery! A picture is worth a 1000 words but a drawing says it all!
My luck you are using Excel 2003 & the Govmnt Puter I have has 2007!

I'm glad you guys got something out of that -- when I played it back I could barely see it.
I'm thinking I can use print-offs from these Excel designs to trace duplicator templtes on acrylic, and it'd be easy to scale them.

Thank you for the plug offer - that's really not necessary, but I won't say no. I am setting aside a wall in the shop for gift plugs, the first of which came from numbskull, who gave me a beautiful darter at the last Plugfest.
I will PM my address, please sign your work.
PS: The version of Excel shouldn't mater, these are very basic Excel functions.

In trying your method on the puter here Excel 2007 does not have the draw toolbar available like 2003 did. Either I cant find it or the version the govmnt purchased left it out. I have used that before so i know how to find it in 2003 but 2007 is realy different on the top of the screen.
Using these printouts to make templets was why i was looking for a program to do drawings. The cad ones are too expensive for what I wanted to do.
The plug will be on the way as soon as i get home. You should consider going to plugbash 2010. A lot of good guys are signing up.
