| Post subject: | Making Wooden Control Knobs |
My first post here, Here's my first attempt at how to make a simple control knob out of wood. I found a aluminum collar with a set allen screw at the local hardware. (.25" ID and .5" OD-$2) Using a 3/4" plug cutter cut into a piece of stock but not through. Drill a 1/4" hole in the center of the plug Cut out the plug with a bandsaw. Drill a hole for allen screw access. Sand and finish. Glue in the collar, lining up the allen screw to the hole you drilled. |

Sounds like it will work, but you can uncomplicate things simply by tapping a whole through wood...It will work fine with a 6-32 set screw... I made a shaft that I could then insert into the main hole - secured with the set screw and then put it in my drill press to polish up... |
