I have a piece of 1" steel 24" long that already had a hole drilled in both ends....(It is round stock). I drilled the 2 holes , one to 5/16" and the other to 3/8" to accept some monster cutters and others I have. I then put 2 set screws on both ends to secure the cutters. I did this not knowing exactly if I was just going to use one end or some how make it where I can change the handle from one to the other and use the other end.... It is 1" so it heavy but would be a heavy duty hollower and it is free so if I dont like it ..no loss..
Anyhow how could do the handle to make it changeable from end to end??? I dont have access to a metal lathe and want to go as cheap as I can.
Or if I just make a regular handle on one end with a ferrule on the end of the wooden handle what could I use? I have some 2" maple that might could be used for the handle but Im sure I would lose at least 1/2" to get it round to accept a ferrule type fitting. It would have to be something else...No copper ferrule that large....Any ideas????
