That's exactly what I was thinking, Mark.
I too made a handle with pvc plumbing and it works quite well. It
took while to decide which parts would work best, since the hardware
store had a wide assortment of parts to choose from. For my current
design, all of the connections thread together =96 no gluing
necessary. I did modify a fitting using a hacksaw to cut it shorter
to make a nut, and I made my own clamping discs out of plastic and
neoprene using a drill, a file, scissors, and a knife. I will try
to get some pictures up next time I borrow a camera.=20

P.S.
Walt has a diagram and some pictures of his basic handle design
