The place I looked at on how to make those said to use prongs from a road sweeper. Ya, thought I'd just go out in my garage and pluck some off. Everyone has one of those sitting in their garage... Metal rake prongs are getting hard to get. Leaf rakes are plastic now and I still use my metal one I bought over 20 years ago. Like your anchor, bridge or what ever you call it. Very clever, very tunable.

Not sure what it's called, it's something electricians use for grounding wires.

SWANK! How cool is that... What did you use to secure the pins? Nice job!

a cigar box would make a good one I think. you can also use rake prongs for the tines if you can't find fish tape.

I'm into wanting to make one using a cigar bow. Got my brother out searching yard sales to fine me an electrician fish tape to use for the keys. I like yours better without the amplification. Just me. Thanks for posting
