Well they are hot to me!
Made them from 316 stainless steel weldors tig rods and 3 consecutive size up stainless tubing!
As to not attract magnetism, rust!

Looks like they ought to swivel ok. Materials are a personal choice. I tried some silver/nickel once back when stuff was cheap to buy. Those rods were too thick, but it would be nice to find some not thick with high enough silver content something close to German silver.

You can buy silver rods from a welding supply, I was thinking of adding a dab of silver to the tips, or possibly gold??

I've been wanting to get some silver, it could be expensive now. All the looking I did was on ebay. My bronze rods all are 3/32" so it would be nice to have some close to that thickness. For me, it wouldn't matter if the silver rods contain part nickel.

Everything I found was found where I work, the rods are 18 1/2 " long to center of handle.
The tubing is just that .... Tubing. 1/4" OD / 3/8 and finally 1/2" diameter. Fits in hand nicely and swivels freely without any friction!
