What were you trying to accomplish? I've torn apart a few handles and knobs myself. I wanted to see if riveted-on knobs could be reused. I wasn't successful.

Cheers on these knobs. Add some real character to those reels. Looks a bit beyond my skill set, but you planted an idea I'll be mulling.

Those knobs are beautiful!
Did you use one of those mini lathes that are used for turning pen blanks?

These were all turned on a full sized wood lathe. I did not do the turning .

[mark poulson]

Well, whoever turned them did a great job!

Those are awesome! Something to look into for myself
