Last week I finally
got a plug cutter from Rockler and just finished giving it a try.


An old boat builder's trick to make bungs.

Use a piece of 3/4" stock to make bungs.

Cut bungs 1/2-5/8 deep.

Apply masking tape to face of bung surface.

Use band saw to cut off back side of 3/4 stock to separate bungs from
waste.

You can now carefully punch out bungs far enough to break tape bond
with waste around bungs.

Lay tape and bungs on a flat surface, tape side down.

Bungs now stand up like little toy solders with grain aligned waiting
to be plucked and used.
