i took some steel round stock and lathed it down to the shape i wanted. all i have left to do now is to drill out the bottom and tap it so i can thread it on.

[Humphrizzle]

i want an ARC style ball knob..

perfect round ball

[Thighs]

i want an ARC style ball knob..

perfect round ball

i can do it, but it may not be 100% perfectly round. its hard to machine a radius by hand and make it absolutely perfect. how much are you willing to spend?

[industrial_1]

Nice work. I'm learning how to use lathes & milling machines right now in school & thought of doing that myself when I'm more proficient. Lathes are fun :)

[SixSquared]

i can do it, but it may not be 100% perfectly round. its hard to machine a radius by hand and make it absolutely perfect. how much are you willing to spend?

Are you using a metal lathe, wood lathe, or a hybrid?

A straight up metal lathe will make it easier to get perfectly round if you mark it off correctly and know what you're doing. Especially if it has digital inputs.

it is a metal lathe. it does not however, have digital inputs so its a bit tough toget it 100% perfect. i can get it VERY close though.
