Very nice lathe work buddy! We made a few little knobs for some customers at my shop. Nothing performance oriented, just something playing around one night on the lathe. I like the size and weight of yours, very nice. I PM’d you back a quote for the PC. If you want to do a batch of them the more in the batch, the less the price will be. Welcome to shift! ---
