It’s enjoyable to make your personal knobs for furnishings or store use. Right here’s considered one of my favourite approaches. Beginning with sq. blanks, I exploit a easy bandsaw jig to chop circles in them. The jig is only a board with a nail or pin sticking up, which the clean pivots on. As an alternative of utilizing the circles as knobs, I exploit the scraps, combining them as proven. To make the knobs extra helpful and enticing, I add sticks within the center, becoming a member of them with a easy lap joint. As soon as the glue dries, I do some shaping to make the knobs extra cozy and interesting. For store and jig knobs, you’ll be able to drill a gap by means of the center and fix them with a bolt. To connect them to furnishings, you’ll be able to run a screw into the again of the knob. The middle strips could be made with the identical wooden because the circle scraps, or the elements could be produced from contrasting wooden.
