  • never a truer statement that. nice CBG though. It all goes together well

  • It's always bittersweet to say goodbye, but I'm always happy to give them a new home.
  • Thanks Rob! Saying goodbye to this one tomorrow :-(
  • Looks great Richey!
  • Thanks Bluesheart! That's good 'cos it's mainly wood bits! ;-)
  • Great job, just love the nice wood bits!

  • Thanks for those Bob - as always clear and concise instructions! I'll give it a try sometime soon. Might be cool to inlay a bit of acrylic rod to use as an indicator too!

  • Alternative to turning wooden knobs, excuse the poor quality of the drawing.

  • You can turn but there are other ways. When I get back to the house later I'll put something together.

    I like the shiny metal too but it's good to have options in case of commissions. ;)

  • Thanks Bob. You know, I have occasionally thought of making my own. Would you turn them on a lathe or something? On the other hand I really like having all chrome hardware... ;-)
