Good idea Deuce. Im gonna start drawing one up and try to make one. Ill show you some pics when Im done.

Somebody post a pic of it and I'll give it a shot over here too. One of us with these machine shops should be able to do it. Later, Cajun

yep sounds like something custom designed , probably pretty easy to get someone to make it but posting pictures would always help so you know there idea was the same as yours. make sure they also know what size diameter your stick is


You said "T" handle once witch would be very basic to make and earlier you said "spade handle" witch makes me think of a shovel handle shape

 

[Cajun]

I am thinking he is talking about the handle on a short shovel that is shaped like a Y with a grip section from the top 2 ends going across it. I built one last year with a bronze grip between sainless. I wasn't too impressed with that one and didn't make anymore, but Can always start again. Later. Cajun

ya that "Y" with the handle in the top is what I thought he was talking about at first but then later mentioned the "T" Just figured it would be easier t get made if he posted a picture or drawing of the shape he wants

Heres a pic of the very first one I did just fooling around. Its alittle crude, I was trying to come up with a pattern before I put alot of time into one. Later, Cajun

 

[Cajun]

I think it would be better to go over the stick instead of inside. No gunk can get in the stick , and it would be easier to make a tight fit. Right now I am into the gator stuff, but I will also see what I can come up with when I get alittle breather. Later, Cajun

That one was stainless steel with a brass or bronze grip in the center. If and when I have time I think something like that design with an anodized knurled grip sorta like my bangstick handles like this,instead of the brass. I was just fooling around with it when I built that one.Later,Cajun

Cajun what size pipe will they fit in

 

[Cajun]

You talking about the handles in the pic? Those fit sch.40 aluminum tubing with an O.D.of 1" , I can turn them to fit any dia. I built a few stainless ones and knurled them, they looked pretty good and the weight of them made steering like power steering. A1 Mudpuppy had a solid copper one I made, that was a brute of a steering handle. Later, Cajun

Dang looking good Cajun. Deuce I had a completey different idea than that lol. I thought you meant something else.

 

[cowboy]

I want one that looks like an upsidedown Clammer Boot!

An old Hurst T- handle looks pretty good to.
