Hey guys, after running an ad on Craigslist for someone to cut these down with a wood lathe, and getting no results, I went a new route. Baton Rouge recently had a third generation hydraulic repair shop close down due to health reasons and I was able to purchase a Craftsman/ Atlas 12 x 36 metal lathe (1985 vintage) from the liquidation. A few missing parts purchased on eBay and I'm in business! I turned down a mandrel with a piece of oak round rod for a light press fit and then slipped the ginger pulls on and cut to the needed diameter. Had a blast cutting them too
