Other needed components:
Screw holder is an Aluminium rod with dimensions:
(stainless steel would be more durable if you can find it)
-Outer diameter 5 or 6 mm (depending on using 5 or 6mm insert)
-Length approx 68mm
-Inner diameter does not matter as long it is bigger than the wire dimension.
-A slot for holding the wire in place (width 1mm for 0,9mm wire and depth 4-5mm)
M5 Screw for fastening the Knob (length 20-30mm) with washer (outer diameter smaller than 19mm)
M3 Screw (length 8mm) for locking the "Screw Holder" from rotation.
Double sided adhesive for fastening the "Base" towards the work bench or 5mm screws.
Stainless steel wire for making the shallow screws ( I used 0,9mm wire but it works with similar dimensions)
