My dad made mine in his shop and it is super precise. Brass handle and aluminium tamp.

I can already make a decent espresso, but the tampers I have are crap, I don't need a Cadillac, just something that fits my hand well and will do a workmanlike job. Aesthetics are important, but a distant secondary priority.
I just measured the basket and it is one of the standard sizes, rather than something that would be harder to find. I may get creative this weekend and see what I can come up with.
