hand made handles
« on: November 30, 2009, 03:59:22 AM »
Awhile back someone posted a thread on making handles for a mortar base from flat stock. I can't find it now that I need it. Anyone recall this topic?

    Try this.  The pics have gone bye-bye a long time ago, but you can do it with the instructions alone.

As T&M say look to the stickies, we have the handle linked in Safe loads and Cannon Planns stickies.  http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums//index.php/topic,95033.0.html

I don't make my handles like this, I use washers welded to a bar then bend it, BUT, I had saved the pics from the band iron handles thread :)

Thanks, I restored the original post.  Cu hasn't been around since April.  Hope he is well and just taking a break.

I made ones similar to the ones pictured above in the coehorn photo.  Being unable to forge from one piece of stock, I cut the teardrop shaped stock with a torch, drilled holes for the bolts and handle stock, bent the handle stock to the correct shape, and welded the handles on to the teardrop pieces.

BTW, my coehorn is about 3/4 scale, but my handles are fullsize (my hands are actually 5/4 scale)  :)
