The printable paper template for the metal bars needed a few changes that I was able to calculate and measure from the last. The bars had to be longer, seven inches total, and I wanted to try one-inch wide aluminum bars.
When I cut metal bars, I spend half of my time rounding the metal bars, and I still needed a guard, so I decided I would print guard to protect square ends. I had to extend the model so the metal corners wouldn't get to close to the edge. My old metal bars were 3/4" wide, and my spacers were the same so that I can make the entire handle from aluminum bars.
The handle was getting large, and I still couldn't fit all the components inside. I could probably shorten the handle, but the circumference, one-inch on two sides, and one-and-a-quarter-inches on the other face were difficult to hold.
After I made an oversized handle, I overtightened and broke a bolt inside the handle. After that, I improperly trimmed a long bolt and got the scrap stuck inside the tool, so I spent an hour fishing that out. I was done for the day.

New bar template

A solid bottom from bar stock

A big handle
After I made an oversized handle, I overtightened and broke a bolt inside the handle. After that, I improperly trimmed a long bolt and got the scrap stuck inside the tool, so I spent an hour fishing that out. I was done for the day.
