I have this hose reel (northerntool.com)and can't find parts for it. My handle has broken, as it was cheap cast chinesium it appears.

The handle seems tricky to make, but I thought I'd toss it to the machinists to see if it's something that can be done, either: - in wood - via traditional machining - via 3-d printing - other?

I'd weld it (and add a reinforcement plate) or if a welder isn't handy drill some holes in it and marry another piece of steel or hardwood to it with bolts and nuts.

Oh just patch another plate on the back on the original?

Sure. Use a grinder to expose clean metal where you intend to weld so it sticks good. Use a grinder to clean up the "looks" of the weld after. Coat with rustoleum primer and finish with black paint. Better than new!
