Rain forest part 7 - portafilter handle

Final rain forest accoutrement underway. 

Some octagonal stock in the chuck and a CNC profile for the lathe to follow.


Profile done.


A light sanding.


Drill and tap the blank (because one may as well).


The hardest part of this was making the brass M10 studs from scratch because I had no threaded stock on hand nor any bolts that could be sacrificed.


Once the epoxy holding the studs in place dries, I can flip the part and sand the pommel.


Finished parts before oiling.


Just a touch nicer than their molded ABS cousins IMHO.
