Rod Holder Concept 3: the hammerhead

grabcad

Introducing an innovative design featuring wood as a primary material! The clamp, with its simple spring steel mechanism, easily fits over ledges and secures in place. The rod holder boasts aesthetic appeal, while auto tensioners accommodate various-sized rods. This product falls within moderate budget range, though manufacturing costs involve drilling, cutting, and potential jigging processes. A provided PDF outlines a 10-step process for rod carrier production. Special thanks to Curtis Shmidtke, Zsolt Andri, and Richard Gioffrion for their contributions. In addition to the PDF, consider the clamp's formation via forge press and the use of standard store bolts in knobs. If needed, a small screw knob can be added for extra force. The base and carrier share wood composition, with similar manufacturing processes possibly requiring jigging. Spring steel auto tensioners for rod holders are laser cut and bent to shape, potentially outsourced due to their small size. Plasti dip coating is applied to metal ends, which slot into pre-made spaces without the need for screws. While CNC processing is an option, it may increase costs and jigging complexity.

Aesthetically pleasing rod holders come with simple auto tensioners that adapt to different rod sizes. This product sits within the mid-range budget, but manufacturing costs involve drilling, cutting, and potential jigging processes. In a PDF guide, learn about the 10 steps required for the rod carrier production. Appreciation goes out to Curtis Shmidtke, Zsolt Andri, and Richard Gioffrion for their contributions. The clamp can be formed using a forge press, while standard store bolts are used in knobs without needing special inserts. If needed, a screw knob can be added for extra force.
