My digger fix

[Rob (IL)]

My Lesche digger is a great tool but the end of the handle has been digging into the palm of my hand. It is more of a problem now that the ground has gotten hard. So I changed the end of the handle. What a difference.

It's the inside of a solid golf ball they come in all colors. I drilled a 1" hole in the ball on my drill press . I used a cheap spade bit. I cut off the end of the Lesche plastic handle with my pocket knife. I then glued the ball on to the metal digger shaft, using construction glue.

I trimmed off the outer white cover but you don't have to. I wood carve and it takes a pretty sharp knife to get the cover off the ball. It will work fine it you just leave the cover on, it will just look like golf ball. Here's one of my balls.

Now that's a great ideal, my digger hurts my hand I'm going to give that a try. And that carving, man you got talent

Hey Rob that is a cool idea, you ought to sell them in your retirement, along with your carvings which are awesome. I really believe I know that face, I just can't remember where I saw him.LOL HH Dennis in Idaho
