Title: EZ-Just Hot Rock style exponential handle
Post by: Larry Renger on January 12, 2017, 04:04:12 PM

There are some out there who love the EZ-Just handle design.  y1

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.  H^^

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.  ;D

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.  ;D

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

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. #^
