Nothing better to do than turn a custom plunger handle

Wow, you must have a really short throne…

Obviously no more sitting down when doing that job

I sure wish I had a bed extension so I could make such a spiffy handle.

Well, hey, why not?

I used a 48" MidAmerica pool cue lathe. Bought it for cue repair and did a few canes, and other simple turnings. Interesting how things TURN out... no pun.

Turn short sections and connect them.

All I can say is WOW!

Turn short sections and connect them.

But I'm not smart enough.

Fun idea.

Did you cut the threads at the end or epoxy it into the plunger?

Good question. I cut the threaded piece off of the original short stick. Faced the dowel and threaded piece … used a cut screw for support and epoxied the pieces together. If I did another I'd epoxy the dowel into the plunger.

Reported…If you turn pens you certainly are.
