How do you get the hose on the pipe?
I am trying to make a boring bar for a new hook tool I got from Mike Houslak, normally I use a wood handle but want a long heavy handle so I bought some 3/4" iron pipe. People say they put the a hose over it for a softer grip. I must of bought the wrong stuff. I bought clear 1"id hose with the nylon weave. My lowes only had 1"id and 1 1/4"id which was way to big. what do you guys use?

Just thinking out loud here
Maybee use some pipe insulation and heat shrink tubing?
A quick google... 2" shrink tubing over 3/4" pipe with some insulation might work.
