After a month or so of playing around with the group handle that comes with the Via Venezia, I decided to start from scratch, and MAKE a new one ;D This was all made from scrap metal and wood I found in our workshop. The metal is all stainless. The hardest part was shaping the tabs, and that took all of half an hour, doing it by eye, and double checking with vernier calipers.
Old broom handle

Shaping and welding tabs onto the pipe

Welded a threaded bar onto the pipe, to attach the wooden handle

Chemically cleaned the whole thing

Test fitting everything


Finished product

Pretty happy with how it turned out
Definitely need a bit of practice with it, although the first pull was alright, it wasnt amazing :P
Video to come
