Ha, ha,
why don't you tell this to him than? Horses for courses man, he well knows what he is doing, who are we to judge?
And, oh, btw, I appreciate the effort in building this bar ends, but I hope you ALL do realise that it's an eye "opener"? One hit into the eye with this, and man, you'll not know know what's worst, loosing the eye, or almost drowning after.
See, how easy we diminish someone else's sense of 'safety' But, it might perfectly work for you, forever and ever.
Good luck.
