making a knob?
Hey guys, I have a shopsmith that is just perfect for doing little projects such as a plane knob. I need to make a knob and a tote for the 5 1/2 that I have. I know I could just buy the knob and tote online, but I'd rather make one. However, I know nothing about turning so is there some place online I can get a tutorial or something? Also, how do you choose the wood for a tote and knob combo and how do I align the grain?

Here is a link to Leif Hansons tutorial on making a stairsaw:
http://www.norsewoodsmith.com/ww/stairsaw/saws.htm
It includes procedures for making the handle to will of benefit in making a tote: cut out profile, rasp, file, and sand ;)
Next thing you know you'll be making your own tools. Enjoy the ride :D
