Have been looking for ice cream scoop kits but seems the insertion length into a turning is too short, such that reasonable force may too easily break the interface between wood and steel. Soft ice cream might not be a problem but cannot control how others might use them....may really want that ice cream and will not wait :D. The ones we have are large section cast metal; perhaps more metal working is needed...small foundry to make stuff for wood projects ;).
Bought pizza cutters but when ready to make the handles, found the exact same problem...too short! Kits appear really nice and all stainless steel so otherwise I am well satisfied. And this is what we (well ok...maybe just me) complain about .... stuff breaking because it's too flimzy. Can maybe solve by welding an extension to the insertion parts (see pic) and a much deeper hole.
Now (whew...about time :)) the question: anyone know of a source for ice cream scoops (stainless only) that have a longer shaft? I have not had one of these in my hands so I'm not sure I can solve my perceived problem like might be done with the pizza cutter (but jury is still out on that issue).
Thanks
Chris
