This is great stuff. Especially for someone new to plug building like me, I can take much more from it than just building lipless swimmers.

question on where you drill the hole through the front, it looks low and I would think a higher hole would swim deeper, is that how it works?

Yes, that is how it works. These are surface plugs, true to the original. The smallest Musso had an on center hole (I believe) and I think the Lex clones did as well.
I have not tried this plug with a higher hole, but probably should.

Great tutorial .. Thanks for sharing .

I was working on the small version last year ...worked out a few but more free hand than I wanted .
These jigs ideas will help alot.
The coving/cupping of the face needs a jig ..my raw knuckles are proof

Just noticed ...the smaller one did seem to have a centered thru wire ...at least thats how I did mine
