just made these at work, better than a screw driver to run the mechanics out of the cabinet. all vary a little when making them. don't really need all 4, just got carried away. work much better.

o.k. hold on......
I made these ,came home, took 1 photo, put it up here. Went to bed , went to work, got out at midnight, ate , turned on my computer...... and have all 4 wanting new homes. (which is nice !!).

The lower one (smallest) has a defect in it (small crack where I bent it) = which I'll keep.
need to figure out a slightly better way to make, so they are all uniform to each other.
I guess I need to make a few more.... beyond these 4.
I will get in touch with you guys on these shortly.

Jeff,
I just got the handle you made in the mail yesterday. It looks and work great. You do nice work. If you ever decide to make handles for Watling, Pace or Jennings put me on the list.
Thanks again.

Jeff,
I am very happy with my handle!
I gave it a coat of Rustoleum Hammered silver.
Thanks, Bob

Thank you Gentlemen for your interest (& your $$). it was as close as I could get from that artwork image.
the one ad I believe tried to sell the tool sets for mills & Jennings. will have to try my "handle" on my 36 Jennings to be sure.
correct Dave does have out of the cabinet handles also .....
the Watling type is out of my league I think , as it is a casted item ,plus no clue which metal they were originally made with. seen aluminum , iron , & brass.
again , thank you for the interest.
