    Jimmy DiResta made some skeleton blades - a blade that is just a metal section without the handle. A bunch of us on the Maker Mob are each doing our own projects with this blade. My project is to turn a handle for the blade on the lathe. As Jimmy has his brand on the handle section, I wanted to be able to see that through the handle. My handle sandwiches the blade between a piece of walnut and a piece of plexiglass. I then turned the walnut and plexiglass into a round, comfortable handle. It is slipped onto the blade and held in place with two screws.

      Yeah, looking good, but it is definitely too thick for use. It is because of the turning, usually the knife handles are slimmed down on the sides for a better grip.

      When he started to do the patrion and similar premium services they went behind the paywall. You just get the squeaky sped up background audio now.

      The first video he has of him making things in his shop was nine years ago. Title Key Clip. No audio. Again, that is his style. There are videos before that but they se to be part of failed TV shows or videos made for a portfolio.

I dared to mention his audio echo once, and got a mouthful of arrogant 'I have better things to worry about than audio quality, and I am very important so FU'. I have never watched his channel since. Pask Makes is a wee bit like that as well, so it might be an Australian thing. As a toolmaker it hurts my heart to see some of the wood channel guys butcher metal, and Diresta does nice metal work.

I am more experienced and lean toward Paul Sellers or Rob Cosman for hand woodworking inspiration. Diresta's personality, image, and online presentation are not to my liking. Metal is not my medium, but I enjoy good craftsmanship (e.g., Uri Tuchman, ClickSpring) and just plain craziness, i.e., Colin Furze.

    First of all, let's address the most important thing: YOU'RE POSTING IN 4K NOW?! I love it.
    Second of all, yeah, that doesn't seem like the most functional handle, but I'm not a fan of cylindrical knife handles in general, for actual use they're terrible. This one seems way out of proportion to me, like it's way too big and should be thinner and shorter, but perhaps some of that is the image distortion caused by the plexi? It's clearly acting as a magnifying lens to some degree. You didn't really show us a shot of just the wood side, so hard to say.
    Really cool idea though, I'm surprised it's that easy to turn plexi. Can't wait to see you use it for something else. I think a combo wood/plexi flower pot could be very, very cool. Especially if you put in some LEDs and, like, extended the plexi inside from the walls in spots so you can see the root system, if that makes sense? Just a thought.

    A suggestion: Plane the sides down flat, not-quite parallel to each other (a little narrower on the blade edge side), until it feels comfortable in your hand, then blend the flat sides into your round upper and lower surfaces It'll be a lot more stable in your hand, and you'll always be able to tel exactly where the blade edge is in relation to your hand...
