I'm trying to make my first work bench as a Neander

I decided I would like to stay true and use wooden vises

Can anyone turn these items for me - also if you are local to PA, Philadelphia/BUcks Cty; that would be cool too

I'm looking for the mallet handles seen in the pic below and the sliding handles so that I can attach my wood screws to them. Nothing special maybe maple or cherry - not my expertise but I'm thinknig it should be a pretty hard wood so I'm open to ideas too..Not looking to spend a fortune but would like to get a rough estimate for the work to be done. I'm even open to stopping by and learning to do it to...

Round "Mallet style" handle heads and long sliding handles - preferably 3-5 heads and handles.

Joe,

I'm not too far from you, just a little outside of NE Philly (Newportivlle/Levittown). I'm sure you'd rather have them sooner then later, but if you can wait until April I invite you to come over to my "workshop" (i.e. cramped garage) and we can attack it together one Saturday or Sunday.
