Hi andy I like the drawbar..
Did you fabricate the three collapsing jaws, or are they available as a replacement part? If you made them, I presume you machined a rod with the jaws in the 'open' position, then cut it up. And, is the cross section profile of the jaws your design, or off some diagrams.
