Knobs Shafts and Spacers

[jwatts]

Hi Guys

I can make about any type of knob, spacer, or shaft out of wood, metal, or plastic. I have posted a few pictures of my work. I also can do also them in stone. The picture has several knobs and toe spikes made from lapis lazuli, peach moonstone, malachite, and unakite. It is very unique actually. I would imagine a solid volume knob and matching set of toe spikes made from precious lapis would be the ultimate complement to a nice tube amp with gold trim. I can also do rca plugs and banna plugs wrapped in lapis or any other gemstone.

do you turn stone on a metal lathe? i have one and have made a few aluminum knobs and would like to make some stone speaker phase plugs.

No I use a facet machine. This is what happens you mix my favorite two hobbies faceting gemstones and audio.

I love the stone knobs, never seen that before. Do you have a price list. Do you ship to UK.

Wow all I can think is STONE.. What a great idea.

I don't have a price list but the larger round knob(3.8 cm diameter) in the picture will go for $25 US dollars. A smaller round knob(2.0 cm diameter) out of the same material would be $17 US dollars. If I add flats or steps around the edges or if I do more complicated designs they go up in price. The stone type also will affect the price. I have been making them mostly out of Lapis but I could do it out of about anything. Are looking for a certain color stone or certain type of stone? I do ship to the UK.
