Would people buy these shift knobs?

good to know, i dont know of any but ill look into it!

 

my shifter is only a couple years old... i replaced the stock one. ill pm you about the urd kit.

 

those are beautiful!

Im guessing ill be making pretty small money compared to how much time ill be putting into it. Maybe as i make more theyll start to be quicker and easier... more for fun for now!

 

nice work

 

Always remember: I may lose money on each piece I sell, but I make it up on the quantity!
Besides, if the making is fun and the pieces make you and the users feel good, that has enormous value. Enjoy life!

 

Exactly. Its a rough time right now, and doing this is fun for me, and the consumer will enjoy it too. Everyone needs a little good right now

 

I’m trying to figure out a new project that is completely different from past efforts in my wood shop. Sitting out here in beautiful paradise day after day alone with my great wife miles from anyone else, it could be worse but I could use a challenge.
I generally enjoy the making of pieces, then get bogged down in the finish, which I’m not great at, and start to lose patience around the third sand, clean & coat.

 

If I can pay for materials and supplies and buy a great tool or two, I'm happy.

 

took me a second to find what you said haha

ive thought about doing resin knobs too, but have not ventured there yet. I plan on building a pressure pot to do some experimenting at some point.

 

yeah ive been trying to stay busy and keep doing things that involve and benefit other people to stay feeling good.

 

Btw @emmett , for what it’s worth, I showed the wife and picture of your shift knobs and she was impressed.

Knock it off before she tries to talk me into buying a lathe.

 

not gonna let that one slide...

but seriously, thank you!

 

I'll pass on the wood lathe, but I would love some of Emmett's nice shift knobs!

 

ill keep you in the loop

 

yeah there are a ton all over the place here too. cant blame em, theyre good trucks! We are almost done with getting the insert figured out, and then theyll be up for sale! Going to list the first batch on here instead of making them to order, so i dont end up getting backordered... if i end up starting to get slow, ill let you know!

 

Well, you know I’m chomping at the bit for one.

 

sorry to say the first batch will be for the 2nd gen 6 speed. its easiest to prototype off of my truck and sort anything out. after that it should move along a little quicker!

testing it tomorrow, but heres a little sneak peak of the brass insert... ill keep you guys posted as i go. it is slow coming, but then again its a side project for me. Ive got a lot going on and school isnt finished up yet and then ill be working full time this summer. Itll come along, but slow and steady!

 

‍♂️Killing me smalls.

I’ll be patient, and if I can contribute any more legwork for dimensions or anything just say the word.

 

haha thanks man!
