Walton’s Engine with a twist – on the handle

One of my customers asked for a handle that is easier to clamp to a workbench or furling stand. This is what I came up with:

It is massive! The weight balances the mechanism nicely though. It feels great in the hand and can be easily clamped or bolted through the two 1/4″ holes.
