here's some more info on how I made the knobs
in my last post I showed two pieces of brass with slots cut in them. After some trial and error, more error then trial I figured out that I needed to solder in a filler so I could turn the parts without them bending. They also have to have a hole drilled in them so why not do it when you cut the slot that way they are square to one another.
Heres a shot of one before soldering the filler in place.
second is of one in the lather being turned to final diameter.
and the third is of them almost finished one still has to have the hole drilled and the fillers removed
there not exact twins but whos going to be looking that close at them.
