jigsaw 11,809 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Another stick I finished,basic but not bad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,809 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Anyone have alternative spacers between the handle and the stick,..I know you can buy black buffalo horn and cut discs from it ,I'm thinking coloured nylon synthetic/ plastic washers? I've a stick and handle waiting to be joined but I'm holding off in the hope I can find a spacer,....Ive tried the hardware stores but no joy yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,809 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I could put a collar on some of the sticks but a few are a bit wide for most copper piping .. .I thought I'd just throw it out there and see what comes back 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,809 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Yeah that looks like it's worth a shot ,cut a few discs with a hacksaw and glue to stick ,sand it afterwards to suit the diameter....thanks I'll look into that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,809 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 This is the sander I use,it's good to bring the diameter down on a stick but you gotta be careful as it's a bit severe at times ....file sander Quote Link to post Share on other sites
