I have started the handles.

Two lengths of 3/4" x 6" aluminum rod.


To get rid of the smooth milled finish, I have been pounding the surface to get a hammered finish.


I have a handfull of 6" 1/4-20 stainless steel bolts with only the first 3/4" threaded. The plan is make a pair of short eye bolts that will connect the handle to the loops on each bag.
