My thought was always give handles as an option. I wold tap a 1/4-20 at least 5/8" deep full of tread. Take a piece of all-thread 2" long and then some type of wood handle you tap in the end of the wood. Trick is figuring out the angle to set handle at, and I havent played with it enough to know the best position.
Show some pics if you make some handles for yours...
