Anyone else build the c-clamp handles from this shopnotes: http://www.woodworkingtips.com/etips/etip030905sn.html ?? Not having a dowel handy, I cutup an old broom and made several of these one afternoon. Easy project - inspired by the cool c-clamps used by Bob and Rick on the show. http://www.routerworkshop.com/Merchandise.html

Finding a chunk of soft rubber in this same size would be even better. Any ideas where something like that could be found?

File handles will also give you a nice ready formed shape

Hmmm, how about a router jig to create handles. That would be a nice project.
