<DIV></DIV>>The knobs will be made pretty much like the real ones. The will be able to
<DIV></DIV>>be lit up, too.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The plastic is clear with a coat of white paint on it. The marker line will
<DIV></DIV>>be white with a black stripe on each side and the rest of the knob will be
<DIV></DIV>>gray.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The inserts will be brass and have a 1/4" hole or an 1/8" hole for the knob
<DIV></DIV>>shaft, depending on the size of the knob. Two set screws will be used for
<DIV></DIV>>each knob. Just like the real ones.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>My goal is to make a full set of molds so I can make them as a complete set
<DIV></DIV>>of about 50 knobs at a time. The molds are very labor intensive to make,
<DIV></DIV>>but I want them to be right.
<DIV></DIV>>
