Made a new handle

[SomeGuy]

Was missing one handle for the gearbox in my lathe (previous owner broke it off)...so got around to making a new one, though it's a little bigger:

Hahaha just kidding, here's the finished product on the right with the two OEM ones on the left. I did make it a smidge bigger (wasn't working to exact dimensions).

Here's a "shorts" video of some chips at the very very beginning, it's lousy lol I needed the camera much closer and wasn't taking much of a cut (new to the lathe and tooling I was using).
