Some exotic hardwood shift knobs I've been working on
Hey guys. I have recently gotten access to some really nice exotic hardwoods and I decided to try to make a shift **** or two out of it for my EG. First couple turned out good, so I made some more! I posted a couple pics on another website and a guy commissioned a **** from me to match his Nardi steering wheel...I really liked the finished product of the design we came up with so I made several more in that style. As of right now, all of these are threaded for Honda/Acura (or whatever others use M10x1.50 pitch) but I am working on being able to have a universal insert that I can just tap to desired thread pitch. Let me know what you think!




















Look like a lot better quality than the wood nardi **** I had a few years ago. I like them especially the light and dark layered ones.

Yep, that's what I'm currently working on...it's trickier than you'd think to make a passable sphere freehand. There are a few different jigs I want to experiment with but to be able to make nice spheres is my end goal.
There has been a learning curve here for sure - I started with just a chop saw and belt/disc sander (first 4 pictures), then I acquired a sort-of-ghetto lathe adapter for my drill press which allowed me to turn the simple tapered cylinders (5th pic was my first of those, was a commission job from another website), and now I have a set of basic lathe tools that allow me to be able to produce curved surfaces (6th and last pictures).
