Finally I got roundtoit and made a handle for my Lethal Weapon, aka the Ripsnorter. The total length of the LW is some 930mm without the insert and has some heft.
The handle is Jarrah and has a slight indentation 100 from the shaft and finger grips for the rear hand. It is finished to 600 and only DO so it gives a positive grip to it. I am mid way into grinding a "Half Round" profile to the end of the insert, photo's to come.
I did give it a quick go to hollow out a bowl, full width shavings till I got a catch and snapped the spigot, twice

Nick, I was busy turning the handle and grinding some different profiles and woops I didn't get round to the Lawn mower. Considering two months ago the grass was a lovely colour of brown (as in dead or dying), I think I better let it grow abit more

No worries Nick, I find it handy for gluing. it keeps the handle vertical to allow the araldite to do its job.
Pat, thats a good sized handle. Jarrah would be a good counter balance as well.Be interested to see how it performs for you.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

run out deal
Have a look in the BuySwap n' Sell section. I am running out the last few [4] in sets. Junior, Senior and Ripsnorter at a reduced price. First in best dressed, I need to clear everything away for the next lot of tools I have on the drawing board. There will be a fair bit of testing over the next couple of months.

I forgot totally about this tool!!!!
Hughie, would you be able to make me a small one maybe? Something that would be useful on end grain on a box or goblet that is only 3 or 4 inches across? I don't tend to work bigger then that.
