Problem:
A need
for tiller extension that doesn't cost an arm & leg! Typically these
extensions sell for $80.00 to $100.00.
Solition:
This tiller extension is
made from a golf club purchased at a local Goodwill Industries store for
$3.00--I chose a club with a blue grip to be in keeping with the Red, White
and Blue theme of Lazy Ka. The balance of the materials were purchased at a
local Ace Hardware store, around the block.
First, cut off the head of the golf club (this was the hardest part of the entire process . . . seemed almost a sacrilege.)
A short piece of metal 'plumbers strapping' is then bent and formed over the end of the club and secured with four, short, Stainless Steel, self-tapping, sheet metal screws.
Three washers were placed inside the strapping to act as a spacer.
Finally, I wrapped the exposed strapping and screw-heads with plastic tape as a precaution against any protruding edges.
A hole is then drilled in the tiller handle to receive the Lock Pin.
