I'm curious Worth, what type of wood did you use for the handles ?

Just some oak dowel rod.

I shaped them a litttle but you cant see it from the photo.
The other handles were wood also but one was broke and the other is old and brittle.

I surprised they weren't made out of Bakelite.

After I got it cleaned up I put it under pressure again and noticed seepage around the petcock and the pressure release valve.
I removed them put thread sealant back on and reinstalled.

Now they dont leak.
