These aren't 'Heathicus and Heathicus' square plugs but thought this thread an appropriate spot to post this method for making pillowed plugs.

Nobody notices those little flaws that those of us who built the thing see. It's a very nice piece and you can point to it and say "I made that."

Good job!

I know how proud your dad will be. Great thought and great work... Tell your dad for all of us "Semper Fi" and Hoorah.

I tried that method on one of my practice pieces, but didn't care for the result. I'm sure it was user error, though.
