Re: Who can make wooden varnished handles?

Hi @mati,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We're pleased to have you join us and trust our ever-helpful and inspiring community members can provide plenty of ideas and advice for all your projects around the home and garden.

 

Can you please tell us a little more about these handles? What do they operate? Do you need exact replicas made? 

 

I wonder whether your local Men's Shed might be interested in taking on the project as a challenge. Let me tag some of our experienced woodworkers on the community who might have some other ideas for you: @r23on@woodalwaysworks@woodenwookie@Poppop@JDE.

Afternoon @mati 

Mmmm interesting question, Id be hitting up mens sheds in your local area as they would surely have some people that do turning on a lathe . I have also seen woodworking groups in my local area in "Facebbok land" that you could have a look at.

Re: Who can make wooden varnished handles?

Hello @mati 

 

It's great that you've received excellent advice from our members. I suggest having a look if there is a local wood turning club in your area. Your local Men's Shed for sure will have information about wood turning. What is the handle used for and can you use anything else to replace it? If it needs to be cylindrical and identical you could use a plain 35mm Dowel Tasmanian Oak Select 2.4m and drill right through the middle so that you can attach your screws. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
