EZ-Just Hot Rock style exponential handle

[Larry Renger]

There are some out there who love the EZ-Just handle design. 

Well for those who do, here are drawings of the parts to make an exponential version. Cut out (or have them laser cut) the pieces from 1/8" ply. The links should be 3/8" x 3/32" Aluminum. Bolt through with a 5x40 x 5/8" flat head screw.

I don't plan to kit this one, but if anyone wants to, be my guest.

Starting to build one. Laser cutting courtesy of Eric Rule at RSM. If you want to build one, he can cut the parts for you.

Looks very nice so far. The best part is building... I may try one out when teh weather gets better and my wood working equipment is accessible. Thanks for sharing the plans.

Here is the progress so far. Glued, rounded, and I couldn't resist just a tad of sculpting to fit my hand better.

Do you happen to know how much Eric is going to charge for the kits?

[Larry Renger]

Sorry, no idea.

Progress! The links are made, the handle painted. 4 coats of Minwax semi-gloss Urethane with Transtint dye, 5 parts bright red, 1 part yellow. It'll take a few days to completely harden, but then should be very durable. 

Might get to try it out next weekend, rain permitting.
