Cheers folks, your encouragement means a lot.
Just waiting to hear back from thewhiskeredbat about some more 1/2 inch strap and the metal fittings I need then once I have got thems I'll varnish the wood, wax the leather and fix the one to the other and it will finally be done.
I've only used it a bit so far to be honest as its a bit excessive for pottering about but look forward to getting some use out of it this summer.
Oddly the hugely thick grips haven't caused me any trouble so far. I based them roughly on the size of my favourite hammer!
