Side by side both options. I like the double clamp better.

Looks like a handy tool to have.  How long did it take you to make? .....Larry

Hour or so, I had to turn the nose down a bit, it was too wide.

I will make you one, Larry

Prokop, how did you go about making the tool?

Prokop, how did you go about making the tool?

I turned the nose on my lathe, drill it for a spring pin and pressed it in a piece of steel tubing.

The steel tubing was first milled to have those two slots on side.

The inner threaded pieces is just drilled and spring pin was pressed in after assembly.

Hope pictures help some.  I saw somebody on interent building it with just drill press and file.

Thanks Prokop! I understand how it is made now.
