Now that gives you a nice bed to sit the plug on the drill press so the holes will be vertical in your hydro orientated plug .. I also use these (i'll call them plug blocks) to hold against my piece on the lathe ..making sure I'm not over sanding and keeping a uniform shape.. at very end I use it to make all my marks for belly hole .. weight hole,, eyes ,, top of slope .. I'm not saying all plugs have to be hydro orientated.. like needles or heavy belly weighted plugs... Fat plugs no belly weight Nike is a big yes ... jointed unweighted .. YES,,,darters.YES.... Only thing I haven't been able to do is handcarve..

Tagger, why not turn the blank a little longer and use the square ends to hold it on the drill press???


Am i missing something?

sorry Eben ... makes no sense unless your familar with Hydro Orientation post ... I made up that word so it would sound hard but its basicly turning the blank and floating it in a bucket of water to find out how the wood wants to float.. which side is up ? Try it .. There is an up and not always predictable and varies in every piece to very mild to very strong.. I used to just wing it and drill all my holes square .. May the force be with you and your plugs ..

Excellant thread Eddie
thanks for posting it.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Great info, one question however;
When you rip the plug in half using the Vblock, how do you do it without riping the Vblock in half as well?

I assume this is an ISO 9001 procedure

Bill,,,I ripped some pine 45 degrees on the table saw and glued and screwed it to the plywood..I clamp that in place on the bandsaw table centered on the blade... push whatever I want to split through.. falls off other side .. I also have an off center placement on this board I set up to do lips on round stock ..

So, the V-block stays there and you push the plug thru it.
I get it now. Thanx

Tagger, looks great. That would make one hell of a squid bait if you leave it like that and put eyes on the rear.
