CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Played around on my mill today and this is the result. I modeled it after the original knob on my truck and scaled it up a bit. Enjoy.

thats beautiful work.

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

That's pretty awesome!

It is just for looks, or is it functional (can be screwed onto shifter handle).

It's on the truck right now. I'll shoot a picture when I get back home (Sunday).

Here it is.

Now you need to have a matching one on the transfer case shifter. Nice job it looks great

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

You sir, make a valid point.

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

:agree:

looks good!

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Very nice indeed...:chevy:

If I had a floor mounted shifter, I'd hit you with a request.

I got bored and broke the CNC once too! ;)

That looks awesome. My only complaint about aluminum shift knobs is that they get so hot.

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Nice work on those dash knobs.

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

I hope you get bored again soon

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Hot in summer and cold in winter

Found time to make it a partner.

Looks great...but you already knew that. Nice job

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

You should try painting the letter recesses as described in a recent thread on emblems. Basically fill the recess with paint, wipe the level area off with laquer thinner.

If they're aluminum a clear coat might prevent oxidation (clear anodizing would be better, but gets complicated).

Nice project!

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Nice work on both

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

Yup-I'm gonna do that with the dash knobs

Re: CNC + Boredom = Custom Shift Knob
 

awesome work!

Hey I was just wondering if something like this horn button center piece could be made on a CNC machine? I like this horn button but would love to have one made with gmc in the center instead of the bowtie.
