Glenn Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 There are handles on tools such as pokers, forge rakes, forks, spoons, and many other items. Show us the handle(s) you make for your tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wroughton Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Pulls from left overs. Failed bottle openers that I had way to much fun working over the horn to the point that the opening was too large for a bottle. Copper and Iron fire place tool handles.

What did you ask for? I buy screen (they call it "mesh")from Edward Darby & Son. Order by the wire diameter and then the size of the opening in the mesh. Don't know the wire size but the opening looks to be 1/8". I sometimes go as large as 1/4" opening with larger wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If you google "Wire mesh", you can find a bunch of suppliers. One place that I saw has (in addition to mild steel wire), mesh in copper, brass, bronze, and monel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
