This is a handle for my rotary table. The original table on it is very
small and inconvenient and I always wanted a better one. The knurled
knob on the handle rotates freely. It is made out of a 1/2" Armstrong
wrench, which I had to bend to provide a more pleasing shape and
clearance to clear various obstructions on the table. I bent this
wrench red hot, which accounts for nice curvature.

Very nicely done, Ig. I hope the screw affixing the knob is
shop-made with lathe-cut threads? G

Knice knurls. Doncha loveit when they turn out so nice?
