Crazy rainbow colored knob, don't worry, it's for a girl haha. The weird shifts in the
stripes are where the different pieces of acrylic were laminated together

Mazdaspeed knob, in the GReddy style'd shape

Nice.

Any word on weighted ones?

I'd like a clear one in the same shape as ur multi-colour crazy one, with the oldschool mazda logo on top, Cnidus in the "signature" type text down one side.

Ideally I want the engraving filled with Series 8 RX7 blue.... but I can buy some touch up paint from the dealer and do myself.

What do you reckon about making it weighted. Obviously the material would have to look the part on a clear knob..... Ideas? Weighted knobs feel soo much better for shifting, especially on notchy boxes.

hey are you still making knobs? i noticed how there was a gap, very interested in a couple of knobs

wjk0817 02-05-11 05:42 AM

Oooh, what an nice skill you have.
I'm interested , lemme just think of a piece.

O_Adam_7 02-05-11 01:39 PM

you still making those knobs?

sp1d3r 02-05-11 10:09 PM

If you're still making these shift knobs, I'd be interested in one. Especially if you can make the wighted ones. Thank You!

hi there would really like a shift know red or dark red burgundy if possible if not clear is cool. If you can engrave any thing could I get the winged skull from M.Bison from street fighter logo? or do copyrights come up? email you a pic if you need it willing to pay 75.00-100.00 USD.

jr515 02-13-11 05:05 PM

How much for the Greddy style one? If possible, I would like to have the 1st gen 7 on the top.

RotaSpinna69 02-13-11 05:52 PM

I'd like to know as well!

chatchie 02-13-11 08:55 PM

He hasnt been in this thread in months. I think this project is dead.

Kman Art 02-13-11 08:59 PM

Def not dead. I'm about to place my second order with him for knobs.

O_Adam_7 02-14-11 12:08 AM

i hope he gets back on. i want one! ^_^

Landon303 03-09-11 08:03 AM

Hey all--

I've been swamped in school work this semester, and didn't even know there was any activity in this thread because I hadn't the time to check it. It was actually someone else who informed me via PM to let me know, yikes.

Anyway I've found a way to weight the knobs that's easy enough that I don't mind doing it, but it does take a bit more time so I'd like to ask for $15 more for the cost of
weighting material & time.

I just re-newed my vendor license, so I'm good to go in that respect. I'll be making a few knobs here soon, will get new pictures up soon.

Thanks all for showing support in my product, it's because of this that I'm able to be here and do what I really love, for owners of the cars that I love

I'll be on spring break starting Thursday, tomorrow, until the 22nd, so I'll have quite a bit of machine time available to me. Following that, I'll be able to work on weekends, and have a 4 month, class-less summer so I can definitely do some turning :)

Thanks again all, stay tuned for new pictures! I've PM'd everyone who'd shown an interest in the thread since I last checked it.

Cheers!

Landon

I'll weigh the one I've got at the house this weekend when I get back from school-- It's weighted with brass powder. But I'm soon going to be switching to lead or tungsten powder, so expect the weights to increase quite a bit!

Thanks

Landon
