Tommy Bars
The tommy bars that come with Sherline accessories are nothing more than a piece of drill rod. They are functional, but plain and small. I made some knurled handles out of aluminum and pressed them on using a bit of sleeve retainer. I made the depth stop for the lathe in order to make the knurling tool in order to make these. That's a lot of work for a few handles, but tools never go to waste and there will be many other uses for them. Click the picture for a larger image.
