Looks great for the first time. I like that you try stuff and show how the process works both the good and the bad. I have learned much more from my failures than my successes.
I’ve only recently just joined your channel , so I’m not familiar with all the talents and skills you possess . A lot of the time , I rely on repair of what I’ve got or replace with what goes there . I’m not nearly as creative as you since I rely on repair/replace . Got a lot of respect for your talent . The rest of me is envious of the man cave / machine shop of which is your recording studio . A place some can only dream of . One thing is for sure , we should never take for granted what goes into the creation of something as simple as a knob . I guess we can say that the most important thing about the knob is that it has to feel good in the hand .
Oh, he went for the low hanging knob gag 😂 Apart from that, a vintage Jeremy video, I was sad when it was over so quickly. Congratulations on your learning, experimenting and having fun, and on a stylish and unique shift knob! Thank you for taking us along!
This was awesome to watch. Hey, a shifter knob with character is better than store bought. I give it an A+. I am new to your channel , I enjoyed watching you polish your knob lol
I like that way of grading ones results.. " Even though I'm giving myself a C- on the steel, as a shift knob it gets an A", so I could say, "Even though I should get an F- for this bent, distorted and rickety trailer frame I just built, as a piece of scrap I give myself an A". Thanks Jeremy I now have much A+ scrap laying around.
Think why it failed was where you dunked it in the water @ 4:45 , that probably shocked the hardenable steel and made it crack, but A+ for getting it back together and turning it 👍
This is so cool, great video. If those roller bearings were anything like the ones i got for my last dana 18 rebuild kit, they were pure chinesium pot metal
Its a while since I read the bible, I seem to recall there was a story about someone converting a piece of metal to a gear knob on the road to Damascus (it was the bible, so presumably for a Donkey), its known as a damascene conversion. So I guess this is a double damascene conversion.
If the goal of the build was a show room perfect polish and shine, I'd say start over... but keeping the "patina" of the vehicle as is, the rough edges of the shift knob look proper. I give it an A for sure!
Wasting time is what we’re good at, isn’t it? Today I spent far too much time stripping the paint from the centre stand of my motorcycle then spraying it. Then twenty minutes cleaning out my spray gun. For £25 I could have had it powder coated but where’s the fun in that.. 🙂
2 problems with "too much flux": 1.) It makes a mess on your floor. Who cares? You're outside!! 2.) It's hell on the floor of your furnace. Again, who cares? IT'S YOU'RE FURNACE!!! Haters gonna' hate, Jerm. Just ignore them.
You really scared me with that polishing cloth. I know its unlikely but if it caught it could twiat a finger offnin an instant. IDK maybe I'm just scarred from seeing the "Russian lathe incident"
You are right up there with anyone having so much time on their hands to do yootoob films etc. and those same people having so much equipment/gear. Most of the rest of us have to work/cannot afford the gear/wasted time filming, doing personal projects etc Tell us all, what is the deal. By all means take your yootoob stipend,, but don't pretend that you are doing this for shits and giggles otherwise. Treat others as you would be treated yourself.
Cool wooden duck! I have to add after watching the entire video that the result is a massive eye-opener. Knocking out a piece of Damascus steel truly needs practice & a lot of care plus experience. I have a very small hobby workshop but this, the year i retire having looked forward to all the spare time to do things in it, i am seriously worried any chance of doing much has been curtailed! My welding supplier has hit me with a massive rise in the cost of gasses to the point it will cost me $100s to forge a knife. My hobby looks at this stage to have been un-alived!
10 minutes before the 1st proper knob gag. I admire your restraint sir.
And I kept it to one joke!

@@JeremyMakesThings And you kept a straight face too! ;)
Good Point 🤔,
The Only Time Wasted,
Is When You Screw Up,
And Have To,
Start From Scratch,
All Over Again 😂👍 !

C- for the work but A++ for the timing and delivery of the joke
Watching how little the ingot moves while you're WAILING with that hammer gives me a stronger appreciation for power hammers.
Me too, me too.

A+, very cool way to incorporate old jeep parts
That's a good solid knob on a old stick......
Man that is cool. You never know if you don't try. Thanks for sharing!
I nave never see a guy polishing his knob on you tube before thanks for making me realize what I was doing.
Nothing like taking the easy route!
Love your first knob.
Matching transfer case knobs?
Amazing as always. Thanks for sharing
Great video. Your commentary is a classic ....I so enjoy it. You crack me up.
Excellent knob polishing.
The lathe sounds 1000 times better than it used to!
Oh, he went for the low hanging knob gag 😂

turned out great !
cheers

I think it looks good. And for sure, it will shift.
Always love watching your videos, keep up the great work👍👍
I really like the results. Great and Honest
And like the shift knob, we're gonna „stick around“ :)
Very nice sir. That looks so easy when you do it.
I was not expecting jeep pattern Damascus, you surprise me with every video Jeremy!
Now that is how they do it in Pakistan. Well done and a good result for a first try. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
You never forget your first time.
I really like this! You have a great sense of humor. I have good mood now. Thanks!!!!
I love these learning experiences that you show.
This was awesome to watch. Hey, a shifter knob with character is better than store bought. I give it an A+. I am new to your channel , I enjoyed watching you polish your knob lol
Polish his knob joke was on point!!
Its a nice piece! Looks good, and you forged it yourself! I'd say thats an A also!
Wow! That is a powerful vice you have! 550V! Most I've ever seen were 220s and a couple of 110s. Never a 550 volt!
Herlig humor!! 👌

A+ from me👍
Way more educational than polishing my own... ahem
I think it looks great!
It’s easier for the initial layout if you use a magnet 😊
Shiny!
A +
It was at 9:41, I subscribed.
😂

Your knob… will shift!
I like the part where you flux around and find out
I’m actually very surprised that after a few heats you didn’t stop and build an auto hammer.
Will the Punishment never end?
If the goal of the build was a show room perfect polish and shine, I'd say start over... but keeping the "patina" of the vehicle as is, the rough edges of the shift knob look proper. I give it an A for sure!
You should have made canister damascus. Would have been a lot easier and would have gotten a better pattern out of it.
Hmm... When I ask for shift knob input I'm frequently told to sit and spin. We must hang with a very different class of society ;-)

I think you need to use more flux 🤣
you should write "the makers book of satire".
Oooooooooh a duck
Think you need to weld on a longer handle to not use tongs, or cut it down so the tongs are in line… But nice :)
kewl ! who cares what others say it is your project your time an money if they dont like move on
Are you Shurap this is a good idea? 😂
The only self respecting shift knob for a Jeep is a coconut shell. That’s what I have on my CJ7.
I'm only half through the video, but I don't kniw if you're a madman or a genius.
But isnt that going to rust like crazy from sweaty hands?
I have so much respect for how much unfucking you do.
Seats were eaten by rats some ten years ago. But somehow the shiftknob got damascus treatment.
Respect.
think there's something wrong with your air compressor... its tank had a giant hole shooting fire out of its ass

Obviously it didn't weld well because you used to much flux. 😆
Dare I ask what happened to the original
Probably lost 40 years ago.
They will never bond. Too dissimilar metals. Bearings are way to hard in comparison to chassis steel
NOOOOOOOOOOO! that delam :/
You are right up there with anyone having so much time on their hands to do yootoob films etc.
and those same people having so much equipment/gear.
Most of the rest of us have to work/cannot afford the gear/wasted time filming, doing personal projects etc
Tell us all, what is the deal.
By all means take your yootoob stipend,,
but don't pretend that you are doing this for shits and giggles otherwise.
Treat others as you would be treated yourself.
