This is a nice easy woodturning project which is suitable for the beginner to try. The gear shift knob I made here can be made from just about any wood.
This woodturning channel, explores the uses of wood when combined with resin, epoxy, to make woodturning projects, that are easy and can be classed as art. A lot of the wood turning projects I make can be completed by the beginner through to the more experienced wood turner. If you have any ideas for artwork, wood inlays, epoxy projects or any other wood turning projects please get in touch. Collaborations are always welcomes.

Been in a bit of a funk with turning for about a month while it’s been really hot. You get my appetite for it back! Well done and thanks. Keep being original! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks my friend, I can be tough when it gets hot. Stay safe

Nice looking knob. Well done. I like to cut out the diameter on a piece of cardboard to use as a check of diameter and shape. Works for me. Pen turners often use CA glue as a finish. It buffs to a nice shine and stands up to the oils from the hand very well. Can be a bit messy to apply. There are many videos on this finish/method. The wood will feel a lot more comfortable that the metal knob on a hot summer day. Dave.

Thanks Dave, I have used CA finish before but not a huge fan, either that or I'm not that good at it and just need to practice more. We are due a heatwave here over the next few days so a non metallic knob will be a godsend. Thanks as always. Mike

That’s a very nice shift knob! Makes me want to go out and buy a standard shift automobile just so I can turn a fancy shift knob! It threw me off seeing the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car, but then I remembered you Brits drive from the wrong side of the car on the wrong side of the street.😊😊

Hahaha, quick history lesson: Napoleon ordered his armies to use the right-hand side of the road in order to avoid congestion during military manoeuvres. Traffic congestion in 18th century London led to a law being passed to make all traffic on London Bridge keep to the left in order to reduce collisions. This rule was incorporated into the Highway Act of 1835 and was adopted throughout the British Empire.

I wish I would have had my lathe when I owned my Jeep. I would have made 50 different shift knobs. Lol. Nice work sir.

@@MikeHolton I'm filled with jealousy of your eye project as i actually was half way through making something similar (until I slipped while drilling out the centre of the eye and wrecked it lol) Yours is amazing with the stem, I was aiming for a orb. I'll maybe try it out again in the future but i will never top yours.
