Having just acquired a lathe i thought i'd start by making a gearknob for me. One plan was too make a few for sale. Here is the work so far. Made the basic shape and sanded it smooth, cut one end now trying too work out a nice neat way too remove the scrap wood from the base.    Very happy with the finish so far. If anyone has any ideas they would like too see i am happy too try them just with wood for now if they come out ok your welcome too the first few for postage money. Note: I am a beginner at this so don't expect crazy epic design. |

Neat, I must have a go making a classic small tulip shape, though might cheat by starting with a pointed wooden curtain rail endcap from the shops.
Buying a metallic pink Ford Probe to go with that EmDee; they also came with a matching dark red interior in the USA.

In fact, when you're ready to sell some, I'd take one for my Audi.
