There are a number of great tutorial threads on here, which fully explains a step by step process. Between here and YouTube you can really get a pretty good idea how to get started. It has always been my experience that just about anyone on here is willing to spend some DM time helping new handle tinkerers get started. For what it is worth, I am planning on posting a thread documenting how I do a western handle. Stay tuned......I plan to start making handles as well and am also interested in any recommended resources.
