sweeeet guys

Thanks!

i will call panda araneta (i loathe driving to binondo, not to mention i have a 6 day work week.) and follow Timber's shomade knob... with less finesse :P.

Planning to attach a tenoning jig and a miter accessory in my cross cut sled. knobs will save me from clamping and de clamping all the time. I got the idea from eaglewoodowrking's super cross cut sled http://www.eaglelakewoodworking.com/post/Super-Sled-Crosscut-and-Miter-Sled.aspx

Here is my incarnation.

Cut knob depressions with a fostner bit then cut the knob out with a hole saw. I should have used a smaller bit to cut depressions so there would be six instead of just four but it works so next time. The bolt is held in place with epoxy.

nice work Louis, I have done the same before and they do look and turn better. unfortunately I was using scraps and the grain was in bad position that it cracked the handle. lol...

Thanks Timber though to be honest I hesitated to post it because I obviously did not even bother to sand it.

Come to think about it if the wood holds the shape well that design sure is more functional to me that a simple round one.
