Making a Weighted Shift Knob (time-lapse) [BMW e28]
Рет қаралды 12,205
Күн бұрынMany of you suggested on my steering wheel video that I make a matching walnut shift knob, so I did. I learned the lathe to do this. I tried to copy the shape from my Condor Speed Shop tall knob and I stole the weight from it. It's a tall knob but my car has a short-throw kit, and it's a good length for me.

Beautiful craftsmanship and on that 5 series looks so damn good. All thats left is that handbrake.

love what you're doing! Keep it up! After grinding with 800 paper put water on the wood, let it rest for a bit (don't let it dry) and dry it with a heat gun. After you dried it, you probably will be able to see or rather to feel the little splinters that "raised up". Grind it with 1000 paper repeat the process and keep using finer papers. Do this before you apply anything on the wood and you will get a beautiful and smooth finish. I study as a gunsmith and we use this method on the stocks we make. It realy makes a huge difference. You probably know this trick but if not I hope it helps! :D Cheers!

Looks great! Black leather shift boot would top it off nicely.

Yeah but not with a 3 axis router, you’d need to mill it from really large chunk of wood. Alternatively you can wrap the plastic dash in a wood wrap or something. I’m not sure if it would look good on these cars
