I understand... tell him I might steal his idea for me only... I won't go marketing them, but I never thought about making a shift knob (and now I feel dumb for that lol) so I might call some people and make my own.

^^Be sure to sharpen your turners before going to darker woods.. darker generally equals harder, with the exception of oak lol
