Step one: old handle
First you need to pull out the nail and remove the remnants of the old cutting.
Step Two: Narrowing the tube
The diameter of the metal tube is the same as the diameter of the wooden handle. But the handle has a narrowing at the bottom, and the tulle has the shape of a cone.
On one end of the pipe, he marks four wedges in a circle. The width of the wedge is 6 mm at the bottom, 1 mm at the top. Wedge length 15 cm.
Then cuts the wedges. The metal is tightened with clamps and welded.
Step three: installing the handle
Installs the handle in the tulle and welds.
Step four: pen
For the convenience of work, the master decided to make a T-shaped handle in the upper part of the handle.
Cut off a small piece of pipe of the same diameter as the stem. I welded caps to the ends of the blank.
At the end of the handle cut the metal at a 45 degree angle from the outer edges to the center. I welded on the handle.
Step five: finishing
The last thing to do is to clean the welds and paint. < br>
Everything is ready, now the handle will certainly not break.
