That is very nice, did you make that yourself or did you buy it?

Other than the engraving of the "dome", I did the work myself.

My late dad turned a couple up on his hobby wood turning lathe ,made from my mum's old rolling pin !

Here is my reproduction knob installed. It is interesting with the "3D" clear top knob just how difficult it is to get a photo that shows that the top is clear.

That looks pretty good, did you make that yourself? I wouldn’t mind getting one for mine

Hi Carlo,
Yes, I made it myself. How I did it is described earlier in this thread.

Very nice. I wonder if it'd be possible to turn a replica of the auto shifter on a lathe.

Fantastic level of gearknob dedication here.

To update this, my project stalled when I had difficulty finding somebody willing to make a single cavity mold for the plastic cap and do a short run. I might take it up again as 3D printing has opened up some other possibilities.

Yours
