Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 5:02 pmThat is beyond a turning project. However, there are a lot of wood knobs that could be recreated.
I know that there were/are businesses based on that. I just think it would be interesting to try to mimic some of the classics.
I could always make a knob that would fit and was similar in shape, made of burl or something cool.
But I assume that the point is a perfect restoration.
fluting is outside what I can do in my workshop.

cigar pen
Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2015 12:17 pmI thought you guys might get tired of looking at my audio knobs.
Here is a cigar pen I turned today out of walnut. I modified the pen kit to be able to round the end of the pen like a real cigar. I then super glued a DIME BANK cigar label to the wood. I finished it with 20 coats of super glue, then sanded and polished it. Yes the glue is right over the top of the band. Completely sealed.

More wood turning
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2016 8:30 pmHere is another pen I made by making my own checker blanks with walnut and maple.
This is a really nice quality kit.
I am also looking for custom work for knobs. If you have an idea with your logo for a high end knob, I can probably do the first one for $50,
once I have your logo templates, I can make others for $35. have a look at audioknobs.com
Let me know if you have any questions or project ideas.

Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 4:11 amI am really trying to keep prices fair.
I have made my best effort to make these knobs more efficiently.
The other thing is:
I can make smaller knobs, but they do not always lend themselves to graphics.
However, I could match wood for a complete set of knobs for a give project. We could work out a price.
I just need dimensions and the like. You can always IM me, or send an email to audioknobs@gmail.com.
audioknobs.com has some knobs available. Some are prototypes. If they had any flaws from testing I priced them CHEAP. lol
