Material; 3/16″ Brass rod
Tools: File, tubing cutter or hack saw, small vise, 6 inch scale
Measure groove in propeller, clamp rod in vise, measure where to cut.
File and test pin against groove, helps to round ends Tubing cutter
found at garage sale makes precise cut, but, swells ends with
displaced metal. Chuck in drill or just file in vise.
Start a little long and work off excess with file until it fits.
Brass rod may sometimes be at Lowes, Tractor Supply or your favorite
hardware store. Or maybe not.
Craftwork methods are slow and labor intensive, but, what can not
be found must be made.
Helps if you are a tool junkie who has been to every garage sale
