I got around to turning my tamper handle to match the other controls. The hard part was getting the handle to piston interface the right side. I turned it down to a sub 1/16 inch and then sanded it down to an exact fit. You could not put a hair between the handle base and piston recess. I turned it slightly larger than the stock Reg Barber handle, after all, it is personalized so why not turn it to fit my meaty hand.

Nice work, cannonfodder.
I have a little MicroMark metal lathe that doesn't get enough use.
If I had a bigger wood lathe, I'd try my hand at metal spinning.
