Volume/tone knobs for guitars. Air dried English Holly.
Well,that was in my lunch break.
The rest of the day was spent working on these...
The shape of these allows them to nest in tha hand very comfortably, with easy access to the tightening screw, which is knurled for extra purchase. The banjos are in brass so as not to marr the stainless rod.
The bodies have been soaking in thinned linseed oil for 10 hours under vacuum. Soaking in linseed is an age old technique and should provide many years of protection whilst allowing the user to maintain the finish.
These ones are in Wenge, and I'm looking into other timbers at the moment.
Half of the wheels have been hardened, the rest will be done in the morning. Then the lot will be annealed in the oven with the roast tomorrow (Don't tell my wife
)The silver steel wheels are countersunk both sides, so the bevel can be set on the waste side.
I am looking into a version which also features a pin, held in place using the existing screw.
These will be shipped with the necessary tool to remove the wheel fixing screw.
Thanks for looking.
Adam.
