Plug Holder

Here is a tool I made to hold the plug during the painting process. It rotates 360 and can be left at any angle needed.

You mean you don't paint your finger nails like I do? I made the mistake of going to pick my daughter up at school one day. I left in a rush while painting.
The Moms were checking me out and finally one came up and asked how I had hurt my arms. I hadn't washed the createx off my arms where I was testing spray patterns. The blue, purple, red, yellow and black looked as if I had bruised my arms. Ever try explaing to a someone about building lures who has no clue? They just look at you with that blank stare and all your thinking is. I'm digging this hole deeper.
Sweet setup Professer


Its only art if it don't catch fish!

Nice work Paul. I like the brass bushings. Did you ever make a holder for the inserts for yourself yet?

Don't feel bad Fred. I still use the wires and hold them to paint.

I thought I was high tech, wearing latex gloves to hold my bent wires.

What exactly (if anything) is wrong with holding the plugs with a wire while painting? I find some of the manipulations required to get good clean color separation co only be achieved by hand!

I think Paul's set up is great but it would be a entirely new learning curve for me.

Nice job PM......

Dave I have made a holder and it works great. No more tool grinding for me.
Fred I am using a coat hanger in the visegrip
Eastendlu, goverment job is the best thing about being a machinist
I am sure there will be times when I have to hand hold the plug.
Dave(JPI) how you coming with that baseplate?
Dave(CM) you definately need one.
