Need a favour pretty please
I just got around to installing my McJing bench vice after a year of it sitting around the workshop. Well wouldn’t you know it, the vice handle I purchased from CarbaTec also a year ago is too big to go in the vice tuning hole so now I don’t have a vice handle. It’s about 29mm and needs to be 26.5mm in diameter. So is there anyone I can post the handle to that would do me the favour of turning it down to 26.5mm please, I don't do turning in my woodwork but it is on my bucket list. I will cover all postage. I'm in Tasmania, Launceston way.
In the picture it is 300mm long.

SB, you could also simply plane it down. I'd say clamp it in a vise, but you cannot! You can free hand it with a block plane. Just a stroke at a time .... around and around you go, where you stop .. is when it fits. Finish with sandpaper. Should take as long to do as it took me to type. Just watch the grain direction.

Happy to do it if it doesn't pan out for you with the earlier offers. I'm in Canberra.

I have decided and completed the desired outcome using Derek's method. Yes, I did get some grain direction problems but used some epoxy to smooth over, now all good. Thanks for the offers of help and one day I'll just have to get into turning I think.
