I made one out of black iron pipe which I turned down on my lathe after boring it out to the proper inside diameter then filing the ends,actually used the Craftsman version of the Dremel tool to get the ears shaped. I needed it to remove the ring that holds the film winder etc on a Voigtlander Bessamatic. It worked fine but the walls were so thin that the base metal of the pipe was not strong enough to prevent the ears from bending and then breaking off after a couple of uses. I will make another someday out of better stock.I actually made one from a brass fitting with the same results.Ron G |
