How are you drilling the through hole from stem to stern and forming the loop/loops, depending on number of hooks, in the body area? Inquiring minds want to know.  Anyone have pictures of plug/plugs start to finish? Not trying to steal ideas, just trying to understand it.

| there are many different ways. you can use jigs, clamps, guides, me personally, i like easy. i learned through drilling from someone that unfortunately does not do plugs anymore, although not the safest way in the world, definately the easiest. i will post pics within the next few days for you if i can get the time to do so. | ||

| I'll do a Jackhammer from blank to hardware over the next few days - Just saw this question and I had a beer so no more machinery until tomorrow - (I can still count all the way to ten on my fingers thanks to that rule!) FYI - If anyone is in the Mansfield Ct area I'll be teaching a building class for the Mansfield Rec dept on the UConn campus in the spring - they even have a pool (I call it the testing tank) | ||

| I do my through rilling on my lathe. Once the turning centers are established you use them for drilling (unless it's a lipped swimmer). Use an 8" parabolic drill in the headstock (chuck). run it in half way then turn the plug. You can't go wrong! | ||

|   The Top image is of a through wire which is bent like a key hole at the top and after it goes through the center swivel and comes out the back you bend it over a small object like a nail or small screw driver then grab the circle with a pair of pliers and twist it cut and tuck. The second pic is how I do most through holes. First clamp a piece of 4x4 onto your bed and drill a hole the same size as your plug body. Then your sure the hole will be centered under the chuch then put your 1/8" by 12" bit in and drill halfway from both ends of the lure. Armand | ||

Make the cove in the wood, bend the wire to fit the cove, glue the pieces together and seal the ends of the cove. Carve the plug. On standard through wires you can use a swievel, or make a hook hanger out of another piece of stainless and run the through wire through the hook hanger.
