I really like the Aluminum inserts for tool handles.  I had purchased some 10 years ago but needed a few more.    After John Jordan's demo last month, I decided to give it a go and make one for myself.  It went pretty well following John's detailed instructions.   I made it for my 3/8" spindle detail gouge and wanted a shorter handle.   The wooden part of the handle is 6" long.  Shorter handles are great when making small details.  I used mainly a 3/16" HSS round nose scraper and it worked great.  Just can't be in a hurry.
