Very interesting, if I had seen those a while back I might not have made my own, at a fraction of the coat. I spent around $3 for a 1/8" square rod 36" long and 10 minutes cutting and grinding the way I wanted. Also, while the ones on that web page are aluminum, I made mine from steel. That of course is a trade off. You have the tendency of steel to rust as a negative, but the extra "heft" of the steel gives it an extra joy in sanding. akin to the razors I started my posts talking about.

I know it all ends with personal preference, so experiment a bit to find what suits you.

Check out the website, I found some wonderful tools for both rocket and scale model building. John Vojtech, the owner has come up with modeling tools that you think you didn't need but you are drawn to buy them!
