I'm restoring an old Morgan 100A woodworking vise. I thought I'd be able to buy a good handle for it but now that I'm looking I'm not having any luck. What I thought I'd buy was an old style hardwood handle with large knobs on the end that screwed onto the handle itself. The only one like that I can find is made by Lake Erie Toolworks. That's $35 plus shipping which kind of defeats the whole purpose of me buying an old one to restore and trying to keep expenses down. I do not like metal handles but heck if I could find one of the aluminum ones I'd go that route. I've read reviews about the ones like Woodcrafts sells and they are crap apparently. Other handles that appear to be okay have the ends of the handles screwed or nailed to the handle and those come off with a bit of use. Grrrr!!!
Anyone know of any other good options?
Thanks!
Mike
