easily made, a comfortable fit.
I needed a handle for the blade so went online and found pictures of many models. Selected one that looked right for this blade and downloaded it. Then I adjusted the size to what I thought was right and printed it. That was my pattern. No sense in being creative when those engineers have already solved the design problem for me. I used the 1"x1" drum sander to finish it. Put some of that sticky sandpaper I got at the Dollartree (see Community). I have enough left to make 27 more - not bad for a buck.

Nice work on the handle.
Didn't know about that sticky sand paper. Great idea. Gotta look around next time I'm in that store.

Re: Not Pretty But. . .
Although your thread title says Not Pretty - I think that is a real handsome handle. NICE WORK!!

Looks pretty to me, and almost original, with a bit of distress added to it, it would be original

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

That is a very nice looking handle. If it's still raw wood, a nice finish would add even more to it... Great job!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Not Pretty But. . .
Isn't that "sticky back" sandpaper the stuff normally sold as non-slip material for steps and such places?
I never really thought about sanding with it, I'll have to get some and check it out. Anything that works.
Nice handle...
