.50 cents for a plastic one at any dollar or school supplies store, but where is the fun in that. I used a 1 foot piece of a 1×2 to make this. Cut it in half to make 2 6 inch peices then cut 1 6 in in half longways, making 1 6 inch peice still 1×2 and the other 2 peices 1×1 that are 6 inches long. File them into a circle, then file the tops so they fit together, then use your remaining 1×2 to make the “c” shaped piece in the middle. After i put nails in the bottoms and then shapened the hammered end, all that was left was a screw to lock it. I should have shown steps but i got on a role and kept going. It has some flaws, but it works.

homemade tools is the best when using them :-)
may I surgest a little thin metalplate between the lockingscrew and the wood
so it don´t wear it down before time :-)
take care
