Challange rodholder of wood

grabcad

This rodholder is a bit more expensive than my other model and uses a quick release. The rodholder is mainly build of wood, what gives it a naturel look. It's environmentally friendly too. All the wood parts can be produced by a milling machine, that results in a low price. The rodholder can be clamped by a lever arm (quick release). The fexible plate (made of spring steel) between the lever arm and the movable wood piece works as a spring. The second function of that plate is protect the movable wood piece when you switch the lever arm. The lever arm is made of aluminium, it's light, low price and easy to mill. The axle is locked by circlips (snap ring) what makes it easy to assemble.
