I may have a go at making a knob on my lathe as well, since several people seem to want them. I could do it in A4 stainless, aerospace grade aluminum, or admiralty-spec nickel aluminum bronze, with the materials at hand. (amazine what people dump in scrapyards nowadays). I might be able to make it out of titanium, if a friend comes through with the promised offcuts.

(The above was of course supposed to be 'amazing'. Obviously, amazine is in fact the material you make something amazing out of.)

A titanium knob. Rob WOULD be pleased

For better grip one would probably want some sort of pattern...

I could always knurl it. I like knurling. And no, it's not the game played in northern countries.
