It look okay to me:thumbs: and you could make them for cotton buds, to keep them clean, as well as toothpicks.

To be fair mate, I didn't think it was plugged until I read the post. A good save, and WAY better than giving up!:thumbs:

Great save and good turning not always the easiest thing to turn due to size. A very useful item:thumbs::thumbs:
