newbie question

Is there a book or site any of you would suggest for a newbie into plug making? What to buy in terms of supplies and/or the basics of how to get started making my own plugs? Short of a paint sprayer I am pretty good (I have a jig saw, drill press, and a lathe).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ray

And if you do come up with something that has not been answered, plenty of guys here who can probably help. You might find a book, but nothing out there as good as what you'll find here.

Thanks everyone, I've been trying to read as many of the threads here as time permits... Someone had posted a link to to a page where they showed a plug being made step by step (bookmarked it on my home computer, at work now).

I just want to make sure I have what I need before I start, at least now that the mess in my workshop has been cleaned up and I am about ready to start cursing, I mean experimenting a bit with some of the procedures.
