From 5e25a27d582a9c6ed292d22caeb6520e7a9a32b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Brian S. Stephan" Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2025 10:06:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] add a simple sleeve for a hex spacer that isn't wide enough I got a bag of spacers that are not as wide as what I normally use, so they rattle around in the post hole and obviously don't help with the fit of the completed stick. this sleeve seems to be right for them to fill the hole. provided in case it is useful in the future, for myself or anyone else Signed-off-by: Brian S.
