Wayne Johnson made it for me a couple of years ago. It's basically 2 blocks of aluminum with sandpaper on the inside faces and an adjustment screw that controls the separation. I just put a picture of it in the photos section under Tools. I tried to talk Wayne into making them to sell but wasn't successful. I used to have a movie posted of turning a post with it. If anyone wants to see it I'll put it up again.
