Pilot House Door handles

From Peter S. Reich. 
"Teddy Bear"  LNVT37 #15

Moved sailboat out of garage and brought in Teddy Bear parts to varnish.  Inside of pilot house doors need to be stripped. One set of door handles came right off and other backed off 1/4" and then stuck hard.  Didn't want to pry and risk damaging wood and came up with following idea.  Tied one handle to my vise, other handle to come along.  Cranked it tight as I dared.  One light tap of hammer and BANG, they were apart!  Easy and no damage.
