                                How will the be secured and not spin? Can you modify them internally with that nub like stock ones?

                                Can you make this one for me so I don't feel lonely when I shift?

                                LOL i want this too. fuckin baller.

                                but yeah i'd be interested too. perfect way to compliment a nardi in a vert:up:

                                        I'm going to make one tomorrow or this weekend and test it. Ill also hit up the hardware store an look at hardware options for set screws. Wood shrinks and expands with cold/hot/moist conditions so no mater set screw or not the knob will be loos at times.
                                        Ill get back and let you guys know when I have made kne and tested it.
                                        Thanks for all the enthusiastic interest.

                                                Ill most likely use something like this to put threads in the woods, and then a set screw can thread into the insert.

                                                    The set screw's machine threads will tear the wood with pretty much any clamping force. You're better off looking for some sort of metal insert.

                                                    edit: way to respond to my post right before i post it. Those sleeves look like they will do the job.
