I also don't have a lathe - I have fallen down enough rabbit holes in my life to know that I could get addicted to another expensive facet to ww. So I have delayed getting a lathe because I am cheap and I don't know that I have the time to develop a new skill like turning.. So I'm wondering what to do. How should I finds old handles that fit. Is this simply a matter of buying a number of them used and hoping they fit? This would seem like a real hit or miss proposition. The other option is to buy a lathe and develop some turning skills. I am starting to give more thought to buying a small lathe if the right opportunity presents itself. Is it difficult to make a decent fitting socket handle when you don't have one for a template? -------------------- Tools that are no good require greater skill. Post Extras
