The knobs for the step blocks are made of one piece of brass. Maybe that decorative circle on the top is fooling you into thinking it's a two-piece part. I put that in with a 'V' shaped tool bit just for decoration.

OOOOoooops
Sorry
We all lost here !!!???

aRm, Ed is talking about two different tools....
The larger knob (front and center) on his indexer tail stock, locks the quill into position.
And the knobs on his step blocks have a decorative ring groove on on top, that almost looks like the knobs are two parts pressed together. They are actually one solid piece of material, and the ring(s) seen are only grooves cut into the ends to enhance their looks.
BLING!

I agree, Ed does outstanding work and it shows. I'm beginning to think he is Rob Wilson's alter-ego since they both share the same "shiny camera" from all indications...
Heck Man, now that U mention it, both these Guys must be some sort of master Graphic Artists working in Photoshop, manipulating those digital Images and all the while blowing the rest of us away with their "Graphic" expertise - whilst we are thinking what class Technical beauts !!!
And we apprentices, ( me rookie/tyro specifically) , can't stop ogling their classical workmanship.
Better beat a hasty retreat here before they pull out their bazookas.

Thanks guys but I'm just a hack that's learned a few things. I've got lots more to learn and I look forward to it.

You have probably already thought about it , but remember a wee brass/copper /soft pad so the end of the screw dunt mar the rod .
