Looking very nice Ed,

Might as well make jewelry out of them! Run around them with a corner rounding cutter, blend with a 3M Scotchbrite or Norton Beartex wheel.

I plan on rounding them over and milling an angle on them with a ball end mill. Overkill but what the hell. I'm trying to make them similar in shape to the original handles.

Looking good Ed.

Nice work Ed

Hi Ed,
I have never seen this thread, great work and they will last a life time. Look froward to seeing them finished.
I may have missed it but are you doing anything on the front, like a thinning out a place for your fingers?

Dave,

Yes, I'll be using the ball end mill to sculpt out some of the metal. That is if I can figure out a good way to hold the blanks to mill them now that they are angled and no longer a rectangle.

Bench vise and a half-round file perhaps
