How to Make Knobs for Shop Jigs, for Newbies!

[@melmyers4329]

Coupling nuts can be found in the ELECTRICAL dept. near conduit, threaded rod and fittings as they are used to suspend electrical conduits.

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Excellent point. Thanks for sharing it. I think I'll pin this one, at least for a while.

[@jeoffer]

Sometimes they're called Hex Coupler which how I found them.

You don't even need to ask for thumbs up. Mine's already there. Very nice video. I've seen many star knobs video making but never as simple as you show here. Well done.

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄

[@weaveroll]

I seldom comment on videos but this has to be one of the most smartly done comedy on YT. This video goes to my permanent list of useful woodworking stuff. Very informative to! Thanx

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Thanks! I appreciate that more than you could know. 😄

[@guyh.4553]

Re-watching the video..... at 2 a.m.! Ha ha ha. I just made a bunch of these for my downriggers, turned out ok. Should have watched this again before doing it. Oops! One thing that I did do, dot know if you've tried it, but to make star knobs, I started out using a hole saw, pressed down with the drill press to make the line marking multiple knobs. Then I used a forstner bit, in the press, and cut out the indent at 4 spits all around. On the inside knobs, I only had to make 2-3 indents as I finished cutting out the knobs. Then I finished them out like yours. Hope that this makes sense. Great video

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Thanks - replying to this at 2:40am! 😂 Yes, I *did* try that, but I didn't do a very good job of it. But it seems like a feasible solution, so I'm glad it worked for you. 🙂

[@webjaker]

This is definitely the funniest woodworking video I've seen

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Glad I could help! 😄

[@happyrecluse2849]

Thanks for sending this link to me. It's more than I could ask for. Like the star type at this point and plan on using my drill press to shape them out. We have the same Workmate. Use mine alot as a portable bench/vise. I built a router table top to sit on top with large dowels to fit the holes on workmate. Thanks again and keep pumping out vids that I can plagiarize....Haha.

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Glad I could help. That Workmate has been more useful than I could have ever imagined. And before I built my router table, I had thought of using the Workmate like you have, so I guess great minds, and all that. :)

[@russmartin4189]

I ordered some coupling nuts today. Now I will have an oversupply of every kind of insert, bolt, and nut needed. By the way, I also designed some myself on paper with a compass, protractor, and ruler. I drew them big. Then, I scanned them, reduced them to a good size, printed them out, and stuck them to paper.. I then copied and printed those out. I will stick them to boards with spray adhesive, cut them roughly to size, and sand them on my bench /spindle sander, like you.

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Sounds good. And I have an oversupply of certain bolts and coupling nuts myself. Saved money by buying them online instead of the big box store, but of course storage is always an issue in my cramped workshop.

I need a wooden knob for my leather working stitching pony. I bought some small plastic knobs but having a wooden one would probably be more comfortable. Good stuff. Anyone belt out of shape about knob jokes hasn't spent much time on the internet. I hope you have thick skin to shrug their comments off. Oh and I love the red fast forward notification in the corner. And the Preppin' Weapon sanding blocks are great. I love their larger surface area over most blocks. I have four of them in a holster box that separates them. I got that idea from a woodworking magazine that had a lady with a badass shop that did the same.

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Thanks! And I do agree with you about people being offended by the humor. I mean, have these people seen TV lately? As far as feel is concerned, I actually like the knobs that Rockler sells - they're rubbery, and they're relatively inexpensive. I have a bunch of them. But after a while, the cost does add up. Great idea about the holster for the sanding blocks. Love it!

another great video. early in the video you mentioned the size selection for hardware. buying extra is always a good idea. last year I did a video on hardware strategy in the small shop. basically, you choose a one size standard for all shop projects (I chose 1/4x20 for my shop). now I design everything with that size hardware and I keep everything I can relating to 1/4x20. such as nuts, locking nuts, bolts, carriage bolts, etc. This makes it easier to store and buy a bigger variety of hardware in larger quantities. That video might give you some ideas for future video subjects. keep up the great videos :>)

Russ - I agree 100%. I have a video in mind for this subject, so it's definitely on my to-do list.

Great video! A few questions about the coupling nut... 1. do you use any glue? 2. What size hole do you drill... I would like to use a 1/4 bolt and make the knob out of hardwood... would that be maple? Thanks!!!!

[@TheNewbieWoodworker]

Thanks! I didn't use any glue. You can either hammer the nut in, or if you have a vise, use that to squeeze it in. I can't remember what size hole I drilled, but measure the nut from flat side to the opposite flat side, then measure it from one "corner" to the opposite corner, and split the difference. Try it out on some scrap wood first, the same material as you'll be using. Also, soft wood like pine can handle a smaller hole, whereas hard wood may need a bigger hole. Maple would probably work just fine, but like I said try it out first - maple can be brittle sometimes so if the hole is too small, you could crack it.
