Looking good Em!

I used a Dremel with a sanding drum on it. Skinned it right down to size in about 5 minutes. Perfect fit.

OK, I can do that! I tried using an upright belt sander, but there wasn't much control with that so that method was dismissed rather quickly.

I drew a line around the handle, right where it would sit in the head. Then I chucked the sanding drum in the Dremel, just far enough to reach the line, with the top of the Dremel resting against the top of the handle. It worked perfectly like a guide.
