Does anyone have the specs for the 917 shift knobs? I am talking about the ones that were laminated wood.
I am looking for: What wood was used in the lamination What are the dimensions How was it attached. I know someone already makes these, and I could just buy one. However, I am interested in learning how to use a wood lathe and my grandfather is going to give me his and all his tooling for it. Instead of just turning eggs until I get the idea of what I am doing, I figured this would be a more useful project to start with. Zach |

Hey Zach, If I am so lucky as to be one of the recipients of one of these I too have the Rennshift and what you did with this is perfect. Your work is awesome on this one and I can't wait to see the others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have another ball blank ready to do (with the rennshifter shank glued in) that I am going to turn Tuesday. If it comes out as nice as the one I made Tuesday, I'll send you a PM about it with pics. I have 4 blanks made w/o the shank in that I will offer up in the Member Vendor section as I get them made. Zach |
