It was done at Jim Thill's shop. There was a piece of pipe sitting around that was the right diameter. Just cut to length. Then I cut down two corks, made a hole in the center for the skewer and shoved them in each end. Seems to work just fine. Could get away without the corks and let the pressure hold the ends to the pipe, but felt like experimenting and it worked. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN
