Re: Still stretching - even being old!
Of course, I have spent more than a few hours now, looking for the materials to make the Double Rod stretchers...
I already have enough rings and weights to get me well past my limits, but that custom stretcher is a work of art.
Couple that with the outdoor access and the assistance of a willing and enthusiastic accomplice, ALMOST makes a fellow older guy envious.
Thanks for sharing those and perhaps I will share a few of my own pics soon...

Jake, you made my day. One of my top quality comments and I had a good laugh. I’ll get to enjoy your trip down ball stretching lane. The local police chief just arrested an a guy for indecent exposure and, honest. The chief said, “he may beat something but he ain’t beating these charges”MrSelfer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 10:41 pm Of course, I have spent more than a few hours now, looking for the materials to make the Double Rod stretchers...

Let me give you a few tips. You will need a pretty good drill press and good quality drill bits. The stainless steel rod stock can be purchased
in any good hobby shop, along with various hardware that will work for the stops on the rod to hold the stretch. As you may notice, my top
ring is a solid stainless solid collar and the lower rings are stainless split collars. The catch here is that the upper collar and the split collars
must be drilled at the same time. I glued the split collar to the upper collar and then drilled both, the split collar all the way through, the solid collar
only like 3/8th or so deep making sure the depth was the same for both rods. A good cutting oil will be needed for drilling.
Hope the above info can help you create some rod style stretchers, the hobby shop rod is stainless steel, and is 1 foot long, and 3/16th thick.
