  • Bowling pin shift knobs

    Working at a bowling alley, being a woodworker, and a car guy got my creative juices flowing. This was the outcome:



    Installed:





    And for those who think they're too big and bulky, a newer, sleeker style coming soon. (Left to right) The original bowling pin knob, two of my new style knobs (unfinished), and a Civic knob for size comparison.



    If you're interested in one, PM me. I'm not selling in this thread. Just showcasing my work for feedback. Thanks for looking!

        Very cool stuff, but they look kind of phallic to me. Either way, that's some quality work!


        If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

        Your blast pipes look stupid.

            Too big/tall for me, but to each his own.

            Quality work, though.

              I'm designing smaller ones at the moment.

                I'd like to see one left in classic bowling pin colors with all the dings/dents/scratches left in it, as well. Would be great in a nu-rat.

                    Sent you a PM. Nice work! I'd like one if the price is in the right spot.

                      clicked expecting the usual actual bowling pin shifter

                      so are these just the tops?

                          Is that a hydrodipped finish, or the actual grain of the wood being used?

                            The finish is polyurethane. The wood is all real, maple.
