Make a Better Tool Handle

Tool handles are one of the best first projects to try on a lathe. But once you gain some experience is there a way to make them better than the traditional method. Maybe with a shrunk down ferrule or and adjustable balance/weight. I think so. This is a second improved version of my Wicked Cool Tool Handle where I make a 1/2 inch Thompson Tools spindle gouge out of bodark (osage orange) and brass on a 1640 Jet Lathe. If you are looking for a more tutorial based video check out the original video (The Most Wicked Cool Lathe Tool Handl...). The only variation in this model will be the weighted end is different but self explanatory after viewing.
