On Thu, 22 Nov 2007, Derek Moody, gave forth these words of wisdom:
Big plug making can be a productive hobby - crude whittling and
smoothing skills are about all you need. Balsa is too bouyant for big
plugs so a bit of scrap timber is your starting point; it's more tooth
resistant too.

Good advice Derek.
I learnt my plug/spinner making skills from the following:
