Pea Turgh Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I always fancied having dice knobs. I don’t think that would work here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Limit your palette...either Walnut or purpleheart (or both). Are you going with Luminlays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do some walnut/purpleheart knobs but suggest you also see what it looks like with the gold ones when you get the bass home - and no problem if you choose to fit those instead. When you see it in real life you'll see what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Best of both worlds. Gotta take photos of the bass as Aaron Armstrong requested some for his gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Back to knobs, two done (haven't put the MoP dot on yet) and one to go. Same method as last time: I use the 6mm i.d. grub-screw inserts sourced from Thonk: Then, having cut the walnut and purpleheart to thickness, first drill the clearance recess in the walnut: Then, without moving the wood or the press-drill, drill a 9.5mm hole: Then use a 25mm plug cutter to cut the knob bottom out: Same plug cutter to cut out a top disc of purpleheart: Glue the top disc to the back. Drill the side hole for access to the grubscrew. Carefully drive in the splined insert and we have a coordinating knob: What do you reckon? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 The third knob is in the clamp gluing but I thought I'd take a photo of the other two in place and in better light: By the way, the horizontal line in the walnut is a natural fissue emanating from the knot you can just see round the corner. It's treated and stable. There's still a lot to do, but I've got to the 'still to do' list stage (presently 14 items and falling) which is always a good sign Andy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of them on the BlazerRay with one item outstanding - that battery box cover is still not done yet, sellotape holding the battery in place whilst I play it... It's not a good look.. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
