This is a handle for my rotary table. The original

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!! Bravo!

Gunner... Thanks a lot... I value your opinion on this
sort of stuff.


So tell us how you mounted the knurled knob shaft to the
wrench.....
threads? press fit? silver solder? curious minds want to
know.....

I drilled and tapped the hole, however I tapped it only
partially, so
the bolt locked up when its tip reached the bottom of the
hole. It is
very tight now, it could be removed with a screwdriver
with quite a
bit of effort, but it will not budge from merely using the
knob on the
handle.

Fit, Form, Function, eih? Good enough..........;))
