been busy working on several things this fall-winter. Not just plugs. Here is where I am at this point. Got 4 vises pretty much done. Still have to machine the jaw holder but need to figure out which size I am going to put in so that part is un done. This has taken most of my spare time since last year but I want a new rod or 2. Then I got a cypress striper with ayc fins to maybe hang on the wall down the cape or a weather vane. Still got to figure out the finish and such. Probably end up looking like this next fall too. Only so many hours in a day. Then plug wise I got 1 jointed darter done for a promise. a couple tiger maple Bass Aquas for a promise. For me I have some needles of various sizes. Some I already make and a few new ones. Some top water stuff , canal and a Gibbs copy. Darters. A Pichney jointed so I can give VB back his original. A large and small Pichney Danny and a med. BM Danny copy. AS you can see I got lots to do before I get them done and this weekend has been all snow removal

Did you ever throw one of those Bass Aquas, Paul?
Coolest looking plug ever.

Not sure if I'll have all my projects done by plugfest but I'll try.

Last spring I had a five day hospital stay for a collapsed lung and it was brutal. Didn't have to do with dust but this winter I noticed it was bother ing me so I made my dust collector useful and ran it to all the things I was too lazy to run it to in the past. Just before the storm noticed a better system on craigslist for short money so I went for it.

Dedicated some time to hooking it up instead of just turning as I normally would and no regrets. Actually nice to not have everything covered in dust.

Second Pic is some senior surface donny's (one of my favorite plugs) that need epoxy and mixed batched small pencils and conrads.

Below is this weeks project. Hope to make a couple knock-offs of each.

Paul....those vices are absolutely amazing!!! Love the Cypress bass....I am going to begin a full size, 40 pound carving very soon! I am currently working on a cabinet for my shop to display many of my plugs both those I have built and many vintage originals that I have!
