    I wanna make one for my 240... Think you friend will let me use his lathe?

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    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.

    ^^THat's the nice thing about the lathe... you can do any wood. I'm gonna look for some ebony or mahogany for mine.

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

    You could move them from $30 - $50 reasonably.
