I made mine out of 8 inch pvc. Got a scrap piece from the water dept. then cut it into 3inch wide rings then cut the rings in half with a band saw or jig saw to make two "U" pieces that will be the holders. on one side of the "U", drill a 2 1/2" hole with a hole saw. on the other drill a 3/4" hole with a hole saw. Take a jig saw and slice out on either side of the smaller hole to the top. cutting out the slot for the rod to lay in. Leave the other as a hole for the rod butt to rest in. Now just under the hole on one side and slot on the other, drill a couple holes with a 3/8" drill bit. Try to keep them as centered as possible. Take a pencil and draw lines on the outside of each hole to the outside of the other marking Your next slot. Take jig saw and cut out slot. This is your slot to move the holder around. up and down. Be very careful with the jig saw. You are in very close quarters to Your hands and fingers doing this stuff. I made all of mine and took my time with the cuts. Moves very slowly, and watched to position my hand in a fashion where if I slipped, I missed the saw.CF
