The bar on the Sunbeam Bang Bang is a piece of wooden broom handle with a bit of black auto water hose over the top :
Quite a few people have made knock-boxes from small sections of a suitably sized piece of downpipe into which a rubber sleeved section of wooden dowel rod is fixed. Very cheap to buy adaptors of various sectional profiles from Bunnings, etc......
i just used a cheap flexy plastic container 120mm high & the rubber is 98mm long
trimmed the front so it looks like a proper one

just see it a waste of money spending $30 to buy one.
8-)..love the knock box. Ive been thinking I might make mine as well. Just want something small, cheap, and not too ugly on the bench : . What container did you use for yours?
just thought idd show you my $5 knock box & my wood turning skills with a redgum tamper
i do have a solid stainless tamper but mate is adding rings to it like the pullman ones have ..
even though its a bit heavy & i have arthritis in my wrist the redgum tamper is much lighter & still works well,
cos its wood it only needs a wipe with a dry cloth so never needs to ever get wet ....
