re: Pinch Sticks (Another way)

Absolutely works, and for tightening if you need them to be really snug, that method will hold tighter. Only thing I would change, and this just for my huge paws is bigger knobs. I have a hard time with smallish knobs. Seeing that the knobs are just hanging in the air, size wouldn't matter, except easing the tightening, loosening. 

Nice build Dutchy.
