my new gear knob
« on: 22 May 2012, 11:52 »
ok was going though some old stuff of mine today and came across an old fantacey knife and thought to myself the handle would make a cool gear knob.
so i have taken the handle off and i plan to make it into a gear knob.

on the top of the handle there is a spike that is screwed into the metal so i plan to remove the spike and use the threaded hole to re-thread that will screw to the gear stick thread then i will cap the small hole.
did think about leaving the spike on but it could get painfull if i wasnt paying attention  :grin:

what do ya think?

it may look pants but worth a try.
