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.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
