Hand made shifter knob!!

Made myself a new shifter knob, just ripped the stock one apart and used all the stock internals to attach this on. Quilted maple and black palm wood

 

Very nice. I want to do this but don't have a lathe

 

Harbor freight man!! I have the 32"x12" and it was only 300$ and they have the smaller table top one for like 150

 

That’s pretty cool. I like it a lot

 

That's bad ass dude.

 

That is a wonderful gear shift knob for sure, this is the one that I did. I went down to the pool hall back in the late 70's and bought this 8 ball, I drilled it and tapped it and I used on an old 51 Dodge flatbed that I had back then and I have transferred it to every truck I have owned since then. I have had to redrill and retap a few times because of the different sized shifters in the different trucks but its the same 8 ball.

 

Group buy?!?!?

 

Damn that's bad ass!! I could only hope mine lasts half that time lol

 

How hard was it to drill and tap? I have been wanting to do this with a cue ball to match my white interior.

 

I didnt even have a drill press back then, hand held drill worked just fine

 

Well, not to take anything away from yours at all... I like things that are personalized like yours is... something about the pride of having made one yourself.

 

That's what I was thinking, plus I was bored and some how had nothing to don on my weekend lol, made for a good Sunday!!

 

Cool. I was thinking that I would have to use some sort of press fit threaded insert.

 

Here’s one my buddy made for me. It’s colors match my Ibis Mojo mountain bike.

 

Numnobs?

 

@chickyuen is his name Jason?

 

Yup Jason at Numnobs made that for me.

 

Looked familiar.

He’s great. Small world.

 

another really kewl one!

 

How do you know Jason? He makes the best shift knobs. Here’s a valve cap he made for the rear shock on my bike.

Sorry for the mess in the photo.
