We like to make our own tool handles that are of a length and weight that my wife and I find are also comfortable to use. Purchasing a selection of these inserts ensures each tool has a handle which is important when we are both turning and don't need to wait for the handle to be freed up to use a different tool.
Jimmy's demonstration video provided some great tips.

I purchased the 3/8” insert to make a short handle for the beading tools. The video provided was a good refresher and I am very happy with the new handle.

You like to turn? Turn your own handles, here you go! Love that D-way made these available. I made mine out of black walnut and cherry.
thanks D-Way!
