Hi guys,

            As I stated earlier in the post I have made a stainless steel gearnob  that weighs 0.50 kg because I had cut the gearstick shorter. The extra weight makes the changes easier. I decided to give it a better feel with a timber knob. I didn't have a piece of timber the right size so I laminated two pieces. My favourite timber is Tasmanian blackwood. Then I used a hole saw and cut out the centre and used 5 minute Arildite to glue it to the stainless steel. Then it was just a bit of time to turn it down in the lathe and sand. A couple of coats of Tru Oil and it's done.
