You're tempting me ...
Thanks for sharing .. as always

Pretty cool to see hardware [swivels] used in lieu of thru wire

the swivels look like they are side pinned
or is that my imagination playing tricks on me?

No tricks they are pinned. When I first saw this plug and the pin I wondered why? My guess was to avoid thru drilling...better mouse trap?

Plugs Rule

I made a few that are not true to the original design... I wanted to improve on the casting and added a 1/4 diameter tail wt that is 3/4 inch long and used std thru wire method. I added swivels in the line tie spot since the cups are so deep.

I used Honduras mahogany that I had in the shop... looking forward to trying these... I think they should be excellent noisemakers
