(OFF TOPIC) Dube Juggling Clubs (OFF TOPIC)

General
1

Sorry for posting on this NG if you dont care about juggling.

I’m making my own juggling torches, using a lathe to turn the spindle/body piece.

They’re going to be almost identical in appearance to Dube’s torches. I will be ordering Dube’s redecoration kit for most of the trim.

Anyway, my question, I need to know the diameter of the wooden spindle on Dube’s clubs, so I can make mine ready to accomodate a Dube rubber knob. Could someone maybe remove this knob and measure the diameter of the spindle? The length from the end of the club to the start of the plastic body would be useful too.

I managed to leave my Dube clubs at college over winter break.

If anyone is interested in making their own torches, I will likely add a webpage to my site if they turn out all right.

Thanks.

The answer to this question is YES.

The answer to the question that you didn’t ask is 0.625".
