I use plexi as well. I first figure out the plug that I want to make. I then bring it into adobe illustrator after taking detailed measurements and make a simple line art representation of it. Print that out and trace that onto my plexi. cut with a jigsaw and i'm ready to go.

I use plexiglas, mount it wrong in the holder, file it down to try and fix it, and end up with plugs I can't recognize.

I use plexiglass because I had some, but maple works just fine and I will use that or mdf when I run out of plexi.

Mr K, how are you anchoring the plug templates to your dupe?

1. square ends on chop lure in half on bandsaw with a fence to make sure its straigh down the middle. Trace to lexan done.
2. place lure between centers centered. Replace the pin the follows your template with a pencil or marker. Slide in lexan, done template made.
I'll do them up and leave them all natural and label everything if its something that works for me that way down the road i dont go hmmm howd I do that... |
Domination takes full concentration..

I use a product made for buisness "street" signs. It's a indestructable white plastic. Like plexiglass, but 1/4 inch thick, and it shapes easy. Mounts to the holder with wingnuts.

The templates are thru-drilled so I use the pins that come with the duplicator. |

I actually throw the plug on the copier at work then cut out the shape and outline it on the Plexiglass...then ut the rough shape with the band saw and shape with the drum sander on the drill press.....usually takes me about 15 minutes if all goes well |
