Custom SS Handle ver 1.0

[Pike]

I have seen many posts asking if a long handle SS exists, heavier (than a Red Tip), larger diameter, etc.... So I figured I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. I started with a brassy E code flairtip......This is what I came up with...still needs some improvements....a learning experience for sure! But it is fully functional.

Outstanding! Incredibly impressive. I wish there was a photo of the guts before you rehandled it! Bravo!

I am constantly astounded by the workmanship of the artisans on B&B.

Wow, kinda deja vu !!!!

Did you replace the shaft with something longer, or is the knob inserted into the handle farther in?
I ask because I've been thinking about how to put a custom wood handle on a senator head.

Very cool, and one more SS to love.

Why not?? If there's a will, there is always a way!! I will admit I had a few head scratching moments....but it worked out in the end.

Any thoughts for ver. 1.1?
It would be interesting to see what you come up with as a substitution for that crimp and groove for holding the knob in place.

Thanks Phil....Why should the three piece get all the glory?!?

Thanks to all for the kind words I'm pretty sure I read in one post that it is NOT possible to make a handle for a TTO.....I just had to find out for myself!

Obviously not impossible, but maybe not easy or profitable?

I agree 100% Bob! Not easy and very labor intensive!

That is a thing of beauty! I wish I had skills to produce something like that. You are to be congratulated.

That is so absolutely cool. Now, to crack the code of the adjustables, eh?
