Abstract
A central rod passes through a form-board. A first disc is attached to a first end of the central rod. The first disc abuts to a first side the form-board. A second disc is attached to the central rod between the first end of the central rod and a second end of the central rod. The second disc abut to a second side of the form-board opposite the first side. A third disc, attached the second end of the central rod, is configured to receive a rebar rod.
