Default Re: Making replica wooden knobs on a lathe

Here are a few more picks of the replica wooden 'Bestone' knobs that I turned.

First pic shows three knobs awaiting milling. (I made a fourth in case of mishaps!).
Second pic is my engineering chum doing me and Stef a favour by milling the grooves in the knobs on his monster Bridgeport milling machine.
Third pic is of four completed replica knobs plus the damaged original.
Fourth pic, which Stef kindly sent me, shows the replica knobs mounted on the Bestone radio.

Hope that's of interest, and maybe some use to someone out there.
