My first metal chucks

[NIABesson]

These are my self-made aluminium chucks:

Handles are 31.5 cm long and 2.2 cm thick, rope is 9.5 cm long (though as you can see the length can be adjusted pretty easily) and 0.7 cm thick. I put rice in the tubes and they weigh 200 g.

Well that's a nice one 

I wonder why you put rice in it, just to add some weight or does it have another effect??

I specially like the way you tied them, is that wood at the ends or did you use something else?

Once again, nice one

The rice is to add weight, you are right. Actually I put it in small bags so it doesn't come out or make any noise.
And the ends are made of wood that I filed and "plugged in" ^^
