@SmokinPerformer2's outstanding leather wrapped grill tools thread inspired me to get into my shop and fabricate a handle for my favorite pair of tongs which were looking very shabby. I don't work in leather but I do work in wood.
The before (silicone grip has fallen apart, tongs are in need of some love) -
The blank, cutout and ready for the router table and then the bandsaw to split the two pieces. Like the handles I fabricated for the Weber 18" kettle, these are also from scrap Meranti wood -
Pre-finish, just to check for size and fit -
Results -
And in the tool holder on the Weber 18" paired up with the matching custom handles -
Thanks for checking out this post. And a big thank you to SmokinPerformer2 for the inspiration!
