Fixing and string winding my tiller extension handle
My lovely Drascombe supplied tiller handle broke on it's first use, so I brought it home and got to work on it. We firstly have to stick it back together, but then we had to fix the fault it had of a little gap between the handle and the end. I think this is what made it inherently weak so I decided to epoxy that up too. Lastly I wind a nice string handle which not only helps to strengthen the handle but also gives it a bit more Drascombe character!!! It was my first time string winding so was quite pleased with the results. 00:00 Glue ing the handle back together 02:16 Sanding the glue flush 03:37 Filling the gap 05:00 My latest read!! 05:53 Sanding the epoxy down 08:19 Wind the string handle
