MrRick Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 (edited) This is my simple quick way of making knobs. I cut out a round with a hole saw in my drill press. Then ... (see photo collage below from Left to right, top to bottom) * I use a hex bolt and chisel out a recess. Then tap in the hex head into the recess so the underside sits flush to knob's bottom. After checking the fit, I remove and epoxy in the bolt. * Next I plug the hole left by the hole saw. * Then I flush saw off any protruding dowel. * Next, I clean up with a chisel. * After the epoxy has dried, I chuck up the assembled knob in my drill press and smooth out with a rasp. * While still in the drill press, I smooth it with various sandpaper and it's ready. The finished knob! Thanks for looking! Cheers! MrRick Edited October 20 by MrRick aaronc, Gerald, Grandpadave52 and 1 other 3 1 Quote
