May 23, 2005

A template of plexiglass is loaded into the duplicator (white arrow).

The duplicator is set up to follow the template.

The general form takes shape.

Detailing by hand.

The tenon end of the tool handle is shaped.

A shoulder is formed with a special hand tool.

The shoulder measurments are compared to the original.

Parting off the copy.

The first of 500 tool handles is complete!
