That's a good idea but I'm not much of a metal worker, and all my tools are for wood. I thought about going with square dowels, and plane them down, but that would be too much work. It would have been nice of loews had something between 1/2 inch and 5/8ths

Yup, I hope so too, the handle was glued up well and then driven down into a mortise with a mallet. I then sunk three 2" screws up from the bottom. The dowels were done the same way with a single screw, but they really are not load bearing, they are just guides.
