re: Pinch Rod

Thanks fellas. I’m a fan of shop made tools. Kinda feels like it connects my shop to the craftsman of days gone by. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about using technology and modern tools, but I love the basic old skool tools as well. Honestly, they were simple enough to make, but I do like the open-sided design since it make it really easy to fab up a couple different length or type rods, and easy to swap them out. I think, in a perfect world, it would be nice to have the clamps made from aluminum, just for weight, but I haven’t readily seen the size and type parts I used in aluminum. Might be worth looking for. Anyway, it was a great day project!

Seems like they’d be a pretty good woodworker’s craft fair items to sell. We don’t have anything like that here, but some of you guys do!
