I'm trying to put together a wheelbarrow handle setup for my 18" dob like that depicted on the Moonlight website --> Moonlight Truss Components
I'm doing this because I find fiddling with full wheelbarrow handles just too cumbersome. I have extra 1-1/4" truss poles that I can use for this project, but I need a clamping mechanism that will accommodate my pole OD(Moonlight's clamps for 1" OD poles).
I'd rather not put split blocks on the base of my dob for this purpose.
Anyone know of anything good, small and moderately attractive (meaning not cludgy-looking) that I can pick up to achieve my desired result?

Sure why would you think differently? Moonlite just opened a much larger shop and added some more machines.
