    Wow! I’ve always been curious how plugs were made and even wanted to learn how to make them myself. This video was awesome and very informative! THANKS WESLEY!

    Imagine this being your dad, grandpa, or uncle and he knows you love stone plugs. And he finds and makes the most unique plugs you’ve ever seen. This guy has talent

    Thank you for mentioning what grits and products you use as you switch and transition from step to step. Great demonstration

    dude this was amazing thanks for the info i always wondered how they were actually made. i work at a custom stone flooring and countertop place and they serve higher end clients so i have a bunch of random pieces of beautiful rock sitting around ive been waiting to turn into plugs just never knew how. you’re a hero! 🖤

    Since your profile is a 1"circle the wearable area in middle is the size of the gauge.13/16 is your size.if your selling those as 1" that is very wrong.companies do this often.wearble area is the plug/gauge size not the outer flares

      So just buy the size is a gauge up if you know that companies do this.

    Hey Wesley,
    I love that your making plugs, I thought I would mention this for future reference if your making any to sell, if your selling as 1 inch you need to measure one size up from an inch as the outside diameter or they will fall out of our ears hehe! So you would draw a circle at 1 and 1/16” and then the inner measurement of the plug that you make your groove at would measure 1 inch! If the outer diameter isn’t bigger then 1” everytime we turn our heads they fall out haha.
    Keep on working hard these are awesome!
