Question How Do You Guys Weigh You're Plugs?

What type of scale do you use to weigh your plugs and where do I get one?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Wink Funny you should ask.....

The pencil popper went great, drilled both ends slowly and then went straight through with the long bit dead center! The needles I had trouble with. The blocks I used were not cut square so that gave me a bit of a disadvantage, so the bit wandered. Chalk it up to the learning curve. I have cut up all my wood to size (square) and I am going to thru-drill all bodies before turning, I borrowed a friends drill press and it works great. Maybe done with the pencil popper soon, the needles are kind of, not great, so I will use them to perform some of the other steps on such as weighting, priming and painting, etc. Thanks for asking JTRB.
