Alternative Design:

One easy alternative design is to make the corners of the square more rounded.  This can easily be done by replacing pegs 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a 3/16" or 1/4" round Super Peg instead of the regular metal pegs shown in these instructions. 

In the following web page we will address one more alternative design.
