A piece of pipe ground to an circular edge (for those having trouble visualizing that think circular chisel) at one end. Punch the webbing on a block of wood to preserve the ground edge.
Bob - I have those homemade black pipe versions as well, but they are marginal - so in tune with that "manly" code.......... That block of wood - hard wood like a chunk of oak works best. (I also have some phenolic which is better yet)
