Pinch rods
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
Pinch rods made from sapele and solid brass that I purchased from Crucible tools (Lost Art Press – of Christopher Schwarz…..Anarchist Tool Chest, etc.).Very simple to make. It does require some fine tuning with a sharp hand plane so the rods will slide smoothly through the brass channels. Each rod is 32 long and when fully extended it'll give you approximately 70 of reach.Wood is sapele with a coat of Danish oil.
