Re: Video on Knob making

[MWF]

Curtis,

You did it exactly as I was attempting to describe (the way I would have made them).

After you complete these 5 knobs, check to see if you should make a second pass with the router - replacing the core bit with one that will knock off the "sharp" interior edges of the spokes (the tops of the U-shaped gaps between the spokes).  You can probably do the same to round over the "top & bottom" surfaces of each know in a similar manner - lowering and raising the bit between each knob.

Great job - thanks for sharing.

I did notice that your knobs will be "5-spoked" - vs the six the guy in the video did. (noticed the plexiglass pentagon index plate)

In my humble (and novice) opinion, the guy in the video "over-thunk" (Is that a word the Brits will understand?) the process.

Curtis, I'm like you - follow the "K.I.S.S." (Keep It Simple, Simon) process.

Hello Everyone

Got some "Free Time" today.

So I made some knobs as we talked about, 

Please let me know what you think, its pretty easy 

job to do on the Legacy, 

All that is left to do, is part these off, and then drill the center screw holes. (boaring lathe work, not worth showing ... ) ;-p

Have a great day everyone.

Hello Everyone, this is on a lathe turning, but I know it could be done on the Legacy.

How many people want to try to make something like these???
