Notes
- The common bamboo skewer is Ø3 × 300 mm (12 in); the file is a plain Ø3.0 × 300 cylinder.
- Thinner Ø2.5 × 200 mm cocktail skewers and thicker Ø4 × 400 mm skewers also exist.
- At Ø3 it matches the bore of a 623 bearing and any Ø3 hole drawn in the library, which is why I use it as the crankshaft on the can engine.
