The 400 club

I used those plans when I made this handle recently.

 

Here is the start of my knockoff. As I do not have access to a lathe. I have to use a 3 axis Mill. I am cutting one half then flip it over and cut the other half. Then I will take the part and stand it up and cut the threads. I will work more on it tomorrow.

 

You are amazing, Tom.

 

I marvel at your skills. Nice job.

 

Don't marvel until i actually finish it. Who knows what will happen

Gangway for Captain Marvel.

 

If it doesn't turn out, I'll take it as a paperweight

 

Awesome start.

 

Caps are machined and handles are roughed out. Next to thread the handles.

They look great Tom.

 

Looking good, Tom.

 

If I am successful. Can I be a Junior Member? As it is not a Rubberset

I may not have a real say, because my 400 is a hybrid , but I vote at least for an honorary membership.

I second the honorary membership. Those came out awesome!

 

I applaud your desire, efforts, and results Tom @twhite ! While the rest of us had to brave the winds of fortune, or a bidding war on the bay, you Sir have taken the issue to hand and produced the very item. I would suspect having a solid handle gives a superior feel as well. Thank you again for being innovative in the field. The photos showing your process and step by step as the piece emerges from the block are so cool!
Member? I'd vote for a gold star!

Here they are. Ready for the fun part. Polishing.

Good work Tom.

 

Oh my! I had to wipe the drool off my chin. Gorgeous! I'll polish one for you no charge but it might get lost in the mail coming back
