Gentlemen,
You are not only seeing how plugs are made, I never expected Steve being a "master plugmaker" would share ALL his secrets.

Very few plug makers have the knowledge and experience that Steve has. I am flabbergasted !

Before I go on here I want to say something , the 70’s shop I was working in had a flow of offshore racers coming through our front office that were like the Who’s Who of the sport in those days.
Now the One who spent time in the Back talking to us was Pepe see the difference? I do not forget that. My humblest Thanks Pepe for your kind words.

Steve I only have one thing to point out here buddy.......It's time for you to trade that ball cap in for a new one stud. I have an arsenal of them to choose from as I never wear them and everyone always gives me one!!!!

Being a perfectionist is a curse for some and a blessing for others. Your obviously a perfectionist and it shows. Great reading. Thanks for sharing.
