1) Gather all necessary supplies: 0.25" round mild steel stock, ruler, sharpie, hacksaw, 1/2" R radius pin, locking pin, 3/4" wrench.
2) Cut a piece of 0.25" round mild steel stock 6" long using a hacksaw. (A hacksaw should be used instead of the horizontal band-saw because the diameter of the material being cut is small enough that only one-two teeth on the band-saw blade will contact the material at a given time. The likelihood of damaging the saw blade or having the stock become caught in the blade increases anytime less than three teeth are in contact with the cut stock.)

4) Insert the 1/2" R die into the center hole and place the radius pin in the 2nd closest hole.
4) Insert the 1/2" R radius pin into the center hole and place the locking pin in the 2nd closest hole.
5) Insert the 6" rod between the radius pin and the die and tighten the cam such that the 1/8" mark is tangent to the die. It is a tight fit so rocking the radius pin back and forth may be necessary to adjust properly.
