Interested to see how it turns out.

I really enjoy your page you created as well. I look forward to trying your blends as well.
Thanks, the one's I consider winners are:
  • Memphis Plug (Dark fired)
  • Red Queen Plug
  • Apertif Clone
Still working on a straight Virginia. Need revisit those plugs to see how they are developing.

Well here is the sneak peak at trying to press 1kg of whole leaf, I will update the blog later when I have time. I tried to use the frame press to push out the plugs from the 2' stainless steel tube by attaching two bolts. That didn't work out too well and sheered them off.

I bought some 1/2 stainless steel bolts but I need to buy a carbide drill bit to drill out a bigger hole. So a put the plates on the edges of the bottom of the tube and pushed out 2 of the plugs. I then used a 1x1 and rammed the other three by dropping the tube on the 1x1 on top of concrete. The end result is just under 1kg of whole leaf Red Queen plug.
