Door pullers

Hi colleagues.
Some cabinets of my daughter kitchen's had their plastic door pullers broken so I decided to make them out of wood. I took one plastic door puller as a pattern and put it in my homemade milling machine to copy it from a chunk of pine. I got two nice pieces but they looked flimsy for the intended use. I used the one new piece as a pattern to get a thicker one using an 8mm dowel as an indexer. I made 5 new door puller for the wall cabinets now I have to make 10 of them for the base cabinets to match all the doors and drawers.

Hi, DaniVan.
Thank you for your interest in my homemade milling machine.
This has been my never endless long project.
Attached are some of the many pictures I've taken. In this version, the working surface is less than 40% of the available area so, in the near future, I'll find a way to increase it.
