Homemade handlebar metal cover end caps in the works. A cork, a nickel, and a wood screw, each side, of course. (infosec.pub)

I only got the one side done tonight, it's tougher to Dremel through a nickel than I thought, and also pretty tough to properly jam half a wine cork in there.

I also know I need longer and beefier wood screws, I'll cross that bridge later, I just used what I got handy for now.

Yes my hand is healing up fairly well already, I'll probably be more or less fully healed up in about a week or so.

I did the handlebar tape on a bike recently and discovered the bar end caps were corks. The owner had put his initials on them.

I bagged them up and left them with the bike in case the owner wanted them. :)
