NO LATHE. Pro-quality Wood Knob Making by pocket83

[@pocket83squared]

The belt sander jig @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="445">7:25</a> was one of my first ever video projects. Nearly a decade later, it's a bit weird to watch, but the chamfer-sander idea has proven to be awesome. It's still used frequently in my shop. Take a look if you've not seen this thing before. It's due for a better (and more concise) video, though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXK1qYRuhMlkf8U

[@und4287]

Weird, but it works

[@jk1314]

You have mastered the art of educational videos.

[@pocket83squared]

That is a really nice compliment. This video was a dense one. Seriously, thanks.

[@ΘωμάςΠέτρου-ψ9β]

I see your videos university lectures!

[@cinziaallocca974]

You are pure genius. And a great teacher. Thank you

[@TheQuintessentialOne]

PBS give this man a new yankee workshop

[@ScottysVise]

This is the kind of video that helps a guy like me become a better woodworker. Thanks for showing the process.

[@pocket83squared]

Of course. Great to hear.

[@easterpink7523]

You are easily the best wood-working KZbinr ever

[@alec1575]

your content is seriously underrated; it deserves more views for the quality you have here.

[@davebullard]

I find your pragmatism refreshing and inspiring. I've been trying to see 'problems' through what I have learned of you lense for a couple of years now. I'm getting there. Thanks for persisting.

[@homunkoloss6782]

on the level of conciseness this is something i aspire to :)

[@woodsprout]

I love that secret knob-maker's access door feature :-D you found on your belt sander.

[@WarLord18]

Been rewatching all your videos an im so happy to see new content from you

[@rolandsattler4927]

Thanks for what you do. I always learn something.

Good to see you publish again. I have missed your very particular style of video.

[@alldogsaregooddogs100]

Very well scripted and extremely informative. I really enjoyed this video and will use your techniques in my future projects. You are quite good at explaining these things, thank you for sharing.

[@bookoo0193]

Just doing my bit for the fabled algorithm, anyway I'm probably never gonna use half the thing you make video about but I alway love watching you work and the way you explain things. I love the way you think and problem solve. Anyways love your content keep up the good work

[@dinobuddy]

Pocket83 and 83² are some of my favorite channels. I made myself a handsome oak kururin and one of those inverting folding polyhedron cube toys following his videos. I realize KZbin is not a full-time gig, but I would always appreciate more videos! Thanks for the great work and for the favor of sharing your ingenuity and creativity.

[@CheveeDodd]

Nice little trick to making the cove procedure safe! I wouldn't have thought of the bearing.

[@nexus01gr]

I was going to suggest the use of thin CA on the wood threads (something known via balsa wood model making) but I see it has been already mentioned. I'd like to thank you, Mr Pocket, for showing the 'alternative' method of forming the grip side of the knob, with the portable belt sander. I'm in the process of trying to find uses for a small bench-top 6 speed pillar drill (besides drilling...) so I can justify buying one. Seeing that “hidden feature-port” on the “man/crafts” belt sander gave me an idea and one more reason. Always a pleasure, and again, thank you.

[@MrUltimate49er]

Fantastic video and content. I have watched every video for the last 5 years!

[@cjhoyle]

Excellent video. I especially liked the way that you made the convex curves with the belt sander wheels.

[@jonoonyoutube5198]

Thank you for teaching us this

[@Sbregher]

Lots of clever tips! You have gained a new subscriber!

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

I’ll likely use at least one style and your technique in the near future, so thanks for this!

[@timbering4744]

MANCRAFTS @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="135">2:15</a> I see some of my tool are due a label change soon. :) After drilling and tapping the wood, add a few drops of thin CA then re-tap after its dry. The threads will last a long time.

[@pocket83squared]

Great idea.

[@Pivacado]

Besides KZbin were you ever a formal teacher if manual arts or where do you think you got your ability to teach. I would argue it takes a great understanding and a certain type of person to teach well

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Brilliant! I always love someone who thinks similarly to me. Finding multiple uses for a tool other than it's intended purpose. I still use my old Craftsman tabletop belt and disk sander and now I have another use for it. This is my first video of yours and earned my subscription! Beautiful knobs!

Cool video.

[@sethbracken]

“MANCRAFTS” I’ve watched most of your videos and that’s the first time I noticed the sticker.

[@ramilondon313]

After watching your chamfering device built, I had an interesting improvement idea for the hight adjustment, instead of actually lifting the table up and down with the wing bolts you could slide one of the table sides closer and farther apart(while maintaining parallel of course) from the other one, there by adjusting the size of the gap and effectively limiting how much "meat" is allowed to be exposed to the belt sander

[@markirish7599]

Great video .wish I could thumbs up twice

[@timothybaker8234]

These would make great refrigerator magnets.

[@henrydonaldson4665]

On the table saw, a smaller blade will take a bigger (as in deeper) scoop. The smaller radius means it can go farther in before it hits the edges of the knob a larger radius means a shallower scoop because of the reverse.

[@pocket83squared]

It would be hard to match that comment with a reply that's sufficiently condescending. Instead, you get a complete dismissal, and I'm going to get a cup of coffee.

[@mikeallan9574]

Excellent! Thanks Mr. Pocket. 😁

[@maxximumb]

Another fantastic video. I'm guessing the methods used could, with care, be used to make aluminium knobs.

[@NicoSmets]

Nice. I could use a bunch of those.

[@bacon81]

Thanks pocket

[@jimw544]

WOW! Thanks! I have the gear and I can do that.

[@DaveScurlock]

Really high quality video, shall indeed like and share (am already subscribed) ;)

[@gizanked]

Nuts and knobs. Maybe I'm not the polite company you speak of. Either way, great video. This is just me doing some of those little things to help out.

[@kevinkruse88]

Saying you dont want to ask, is, you know... asking. but I def learned some good things .thanks.

[@pocket83squared]

After over a decade and hundreds of videos, I've not once begged for likes or subscriptions. I don't talk down to you with such ass-kissing. And that's _exactly_ why my channels aren't popular. To respect your time, not once have I used a sponsor. Maybe you could consider the high price I pay in order to continue to treat you with that respect.

[@kevinkruse88]

@@pocket83squared I can't tell if you are upset with me or not and I think that you and I both know that in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. And I think it's probably more of a hobby than an income. But that's just an assumption But I also do actually really enjoy your videos. They are very remiss and of my high school and junior high woodshop of teacher.

[@Tim.Foster123]

Neat!

[@JeremyCook]

Masking tape is a good idea, and the sander covered side trick is clever too. Really nice results. You know, I just did a build kind of like that. Maybe you or other viewers would like to check it out?

[@pocket83squared]

You know, I just scraped your comment out of the spam-filter. Serves you right; should'a left it there! /s Underrated, wasn't it?

[@JeremyCook]

@@pocket83squared Lol - one would think that if KZbin is tracking everything it would realize that we've had many friendly interactions and would be like "Oh, that's probably not spam." Such filters miss the mark so much. Yeah, it's good work, and definitely some good tips throughout. Sadly thats the kind of nuance that seems to be missed much of the time compared to "WILL IT WORK? 😮" type content.

[@pocket83squared]

@@JeremyCook And again, your comment was spammed. What did it? The emojis? Use of the word, 'spam'? What's going on? Nobody can say anything anymore, except 'Great job!' Have you noticed the new AI blurbs under all the videos now? I went through some of my old videos, and it's creepy how well AI understands the content. Still, it misses irony and deeper conceptual ideas altogether. It's so cold and technical and weird. Maybe I should re-up this video with an insane title and thumbnail. I hate doing it, but I may, just out of pure disgust and disrespect for the viewer. Why do they/we keep clicking on garbage? THE ONLY WOODEN KNOB VIDEO WORTH WATCHING?

[@JeremyCook]

@@pocket83squared Haven't noticed the blurbs, though I have noticed the AI suggested responses you can use. Not cool IMO. Also, you literally replied to me and took the first part out of the filter... In what world would my response to you be s__m... but Great Job!!!

[@russveinot5754]

The knob design is very nice and your sanding technique makes it easy to shape. If I could suggest about the threads. I just did a video (5 Minute Wooden Knob) about using the "slide in T nut" for the threads. I find that the t nut is the easiest and fastest way to get good threads into a wood knob. Your opinion of my t nut idea would be appreciated

OMG!!!!! I never knew of the 3rd sanding plane......... I'm gonna go jump out the window.....Thanks.. I didn't know I was that stupid.......

Insane. I have nothing to add, but wanted to comment anyway.

[@StarchedPie]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="527">8:47</a> you say a smaller blade will cut a smaller scoop, but wouldn't it be the opposite if the scoop goes from edge to edge? A 2" diameter blade for an extreme example would have to cut 1" deep into a 2" knob, but an extremely large blade would be almost 'flat' and barely take any material away.

[@pocket83squared]

The goal was really just to get you to think about it. If you'd like to explore the mathematics of it, you'll be comparing the respective volumes of two different spherical caps of varying heights & radii; so the answer is probably not as simple as _bigger scoop + shallower = less ice cream._ But yeah, my explanation could've been more precise.

[@c.armandon4270]

Not much. Rain day.

[@DKWalser]

That's a lot of work to avoid using a lathe. If you only have a few knobs to make, fine. If you are making enough knobs to redo a kitchen, a lathe is the way to go.

[@pocket83squared]

Let's 100% disagree.

[@مسلم-ط8ق1س]

when i see this videos i think it is easy and i can do it but when i enter my workshop to do it i but my hand on my head and say:Daaaaaaaa?

[@pocket83squared]

Decide what you want to make first. Next, list all of the steps on an index card, and take it with you into the shop. Follow the checklist: it's just a series of simple steps. You can totally do this. Good luck!
