Handles

[Bill Blasic]

Since I have not been able to go down to the shop because I have been dealing with low blood pressure and light headedness (I owe two pieces out there and they will get there) so I have been spending twice as much time on the computer and my 13+ hard drives. I ran across the pics from an article I wrote. Thought it might be interesting to see who owns what.

HannesTools handles, (bright green), Trent Bosch, very early Glaser. I've made my own wood handles as well but rarely use the gouges in them.

I make my own handles out of wood. I use them where the tool needs removed for sharpening, shop made hollowing/insert scraper/Hunter copy/misc, or a longer handle was needed, 2” spindle rougher. Some use Cindy Drozda’s tool adapter, others use a copper pipe ferrule.

Doug, I'm very curious about the handles that have tape or knurling on the butt end. Do those grippier areas actually work? Do you think their presence helps remind you to grasp them there for max stability?
