I add some rubber legs from the inner core of a bungee cord on mine.

I will definately use this info. Always looking for tying material and something to make poppers with. Thanks

Hi SB,

Yeah. I use a copper or brass toilet water supply tube (3/8" gives 5/16" plugs or use whatever size copper tube you want) from the hardware store for about three bucks, cut the tube with a hacksaw to about three inches and hone the outer edge of the uncut tube end on a metal file. Chuck the cut end into an electric drill and crank out the foam plugs and cores. I recently heard one guy uses various caliber brass shell casings, drills out the primer holes, and then adds a small bolt and nut. Hones the case, chucks it in a drill press and cranks them out.

Here it is:

I made my plug cutters from old bullet casings. I drilled out the primer, insert a 1/8 bolt so that the head of the bolt is inside the bullet casing and tighten a nut on the back. I now have a plug cutter with a shaft that fits into any drill or drill press. I have these in several calibers from 22 upto 50 cal. Easy to make, VERY cheap and they work great.

Go one step further to do Dremel bugs if you want to do some shaping:
