Turning a Gear knob for a 1970's Camper

What is that ornament on the gearstick brass plate:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hamsa (Arabic: خمسة‎, romanized: khamsah, Hebrew: חמסה‎, romanized: hamsah) is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Maghreb and in the Middle East and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings.[1][2] Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed by middle easterners, to provide defense against the evil eye. The hamsa holds recognition as a bearer of good fortune among Christians in the Middle East as well.[3]

That's some Hollywood level virtual effects right they're.

[@Donald_Willis]

Ha ha, Industrial Light & Magic has to be careful

[@notahotshot]

"... effects right they are." "... right they are." ... they are? Did you mean "there"?

[@styx5977]

Imagine if he used the indiana jones theme on the map scene

[@SethKotta]

@@notahotshot yes. Autocross meses with me al the tune.

[@curbotize]

@@SethKotta well played doctrine Jerry sailman. 😁😎👍

[@your_utube]

One of the most interesting persons on KZbin, A breath of fresh air. Nothing boring, nothing standard, self-defined - admirable. Pre-enactment or is it simulation, or rehearsal?

[@EdwardIglesias]

Ah yes, in the 70s the White Hand of Sauraman still claimed an allegiance with the Eye of Motdor. Deep cut.

[@pistool1]

What a wonderful knob! Not an item, a piece of art :) As always with Uri.

[@Nosculptor]

That old map! :D I love this randomness besides the great pieces that you make.

[@frankierzucekjr]

Lol he is a character isn't he? HAHA He's one of my favorites. He's not only very talented, but he's really funny

[@Nosculptor]

@@frankierzucekjr Totally agree.

[@crunchworks22]

I was wondering where he was from, so glad to finally find out the he is from Prussia!

[@jollyjackalope97]

For those who don't know, the stylised hand is a 'hamsa', a popular amulet in the Middle East, used as protection against the evil eye. Very beautiful take, Uri!

[@simoncroatia]

Fantastic, thank you for sharing. Some years ago I made a gearstick knob for my car and spray finished it and it didn't last very long, firstly the varnish wasn't thick enough and secondly living in Croatia I use sunscreen which reacted with the spray varnish and it became very sticky and was horrible. I have since resanded it and used a 2 component polyurethane varnish which is fantastic.

[@droppedpasta]

I really like the “engine turning” method. Very nice. PS Tell the Archduke to be careful on his trip to the Balkans, I heard there was some unrest.

[@ElliotNesterman]

FWIW, that effect is called "jeweling." Engine turning is different.

[@droppedpasta]

@@ElliotNesterman What’s the difference? According to the internet, they’re the same thing.

[@ElliotNesterman]

@@droppedpastaEngine turning is done on one of several kinds of engine engraving machines. There are straight line engravers, circular engravers, and rose engines. Straight line and circular engravers are used for engraving the complex patterns you see under high-end transparent enamel and on the faces of fine watches. Rose engines are the woodworking version of engine turners. Jeweling is a much simpler technique done with abrasive disks.

[@droppedpasta]

@@ElliotNesterman Ok, thanks. If you search for “engine turning” the results tend to say some thing like ‘…engine turning, also known as jeweling, ….’

[@plane-o-1292]

Yes, "...there was some unrest."

[@phillipmitchell2254]

Okay you totally had me as "Is it in the frame? YES IT IIIIIS"

[@noviceartisan]

When the thing you've made is worth more than the car it's in 🤣🤣🤣

[@tummy_fritters]

Love your projects, Uri. You capture an old-world thing that I really enjoy

[@seski89]

"Is it in the frame? Yeeees it iiiiis!" lmao, I love you Uri, never change.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Very satifying to watch - loved the animation, lol - Gail & Alex xx

[@ericromano8078]

Authentic Prussian gear shift knob. Love it.

[@Lab_Dad]

Love the video and the knob. Your friend is lucky to have you as a friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@one-o-four889]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, amazing skills, humor, superb editing and footage, zero ego, love it!

[@2309phil]

Dear Uri, you´r videos are made with soooo much love. Even tho you dont have the best fancy schmancy equipment at hand, you still make so beautifull pieces. We all can see how much fun you have while working on your projects and also while editing your videos. Thank you for another lovely piece of youtube history.

[@svnelliejowestsail3222]

Nice! I love your craftsmanship and humor.

[@turtledruid464]

You did a great job with this, I'm sure your friend will absolutely love it!

That 19th century map killed me. I laughed too much! :))

[@slimydispertion]

I got confused

[@jerryallen8925]

I really enjoy your content. I have made three frame saws based on your ideas. Thank you so much. Something my father taught my brothers and I as young boys. REMOVE THE CHUCK KEY FROM THE CHUCK EVERY TIME. Even if you are done with the lathe. You will get in the habit and leave it in while working, turn on the lathe and there will be an avoidable accident. So please do us free loaders who do not pay you for good content, but are grateful for it. Please do us a favor and please, please remove the chuck key every time so we can continue to take advantage of your generosity and watch the great videos you provide. Again I really do like all the different projects you produce.

[@T0myTune]

Oh. my. god. Its been years since I've watched such a glorious end to a youtube video! Also awesome gear knob, satisfying watch.

[@imherkhan]

Uri thank you for sharing your gifts with the world.

[@DutchClawz]

Very nice craftmanship!

[@brianhay4024]

One of the most talented creaters on youtube.

[@SylvainLORIOT]

The Gear knob which is more valuable than the motorhome !

[@msx80]

Awesome knob! Super shiny and elegant!

[@KazeshimaD]

Lovely seeing some engraving. Always like seeing that.

[@kameljoe21]

Uri, I found something I want to see you make. Its called a Two Legged Parser. Its a brass inlay tool. You can make a steel pattern and then make a Two Legged Parser drill and it will cut out your shape and then you can inlay brass in to your projects. Let me know if you see this message. I seen a video about it on some other channels and thought that it would be something that you can make your dove with and a few other things. Look in to it as I think you can use this and it would be a super cool project that you could do. Its up your alley of weird tools.

[@frankierzucekjr]

It's so nice to see you back and making stuff again. As always great work my friend. We missed ya buddy. The open package going up the ramp was funny too lmao.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

As always, great project and perfectly executed.

[@NomadMakes]

Nice build and great video mate! I hope you get the time to produce videos more often, as you are by far my favorite KZbinr. Cheers and thanks for sharing.

[@TheSockMonkeyGuy]

"Pre-enactment"... It's a word now! You just invented it (or "coined it", to use the English term for inventing new words)! And an excellent word it is. I have to find somewhere to use it!

[@julianmichel2334]

You should try and preenact situations in which it may apply...

[@jebowlin3879]

At the end of the day, all words are made up :D

[@CrabBell]

The term "coined" is similar to "formalised" or "popularised", others may have used it is passing, but one who coins a term brings it's existence to fruition. Words are not invented, or in the least case, this avoids petty squabblings of the progenitor's identity.

[@frog8220]

check out Brian David Gilberts video "buy my bed" 🛌for more pre-enactment!

[@SethKotta]

The web comic Dresden Codak mentions (and sells shirts for) a historical preenactment society. "Because the best of history is yet to come!"

[@ulf373]

Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing :)

[@atan7260]

Wood turning is so satisfying to watch

[@nicknimocks1792]

You always impress and make me laugh and for that I thank you!

[@pel6413]

Nice to see the new lathes put to work :) That big one is terrifying!

[@thewuurm]

When I was growing up, my grandparents had a big 70s motorhome they would drive up to a nearby lake every spring and live out of until fall, and that knob would not have looked at all out of place on that old gearstick. Very well done!

[@swampy1584]

Nice job Uri

[@nunocanela8773]

I'm Portuguese . You are amazing artist. Well done 👍

[@chesterdelacruz7479]

This channel deserves more subscriber.

[@oneshotme]

Looks great!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@theafro]

Pre-enactment wasn't a word until today, thank you Uri, you have given us a beautiful new word to play with.

[@D1rtywrenches]

Wow what a beautiful shifter knob!!

[@racheldekker7590]

Can i just say i love your accent and also you make me laugh and the things you make are incredible thanks

[@wishiwasalumberjack]

You sir are a treasure, thank you for sharing Uri 😁

[@tinkersmith]

Well of course I love the video! A new video from the legend Uri Tuchman is always enjoyable!

[@thecreator6774]

I wish I was in the workshop with you too.I love your work

[@nobodynoone2500]

Very nice. I love making gear knobs.

[@HermanOtto-wr2nn]

Jestem pod wrażeniem Pana pracy pozdrawiam

[@leostone1501]

What a great idea to use the drillpress to make these machining marks!

[@0000Sierra117]

One great move is roll a strip of Scotch-brite and shove it through a large washer (which stops it from unrolling) and then you can use that in a drill press or hand drill to make quick work of taking sanding marks out of aluminum

[@mybusinessonly1557]

Not sure what the hand design is but craftsmanship is excellent.

[@wt2009]

Hell ya Hymermobile! We had it too with the poiester root. 30kmh up the Hill with a lane of 400 cars behind you :P

[@TheLeeattwood]

Great channel,very engaging

[@YooProjects]

Very nice project 👍

[@Tuonico87]

Good job man.. and funny as always

[@machinist_matt]

Good to see you're already making use of your new lathe! 😎

[@deriusnorris4463]

Stunning

[@55ATA3]

That is very nice, great video. Thank you

[@timsmith1589]

Very nice work bro

[@HappyHands_HH]

ענק! Really nice Job

[@jeroenunger7688]

Send from Prussia! I love it!

[@WendysAnime]

You're an amazing artist, Should start trying to crave something huge for an art museum, I'd love to own some of your work

[@uncannyvalleywoods7248]

I hope that one day, my channel is established enough to post a knob polishing video to great the joyous reception of my subscribers. You polish a heck of a knob Uri.

[@bradcrossman5068]

Fun project!

[@styx5977]

Tolles Video👌

[@ziploah]

Wow, really cool!

[@Vincenzo_F]

Very very nice!!!

[@atomicwinter31]

You should consider getting a ball turning tool for the lathe. It's pretty easy to make, but buying's an option.

[@manuelstritt5300]

very nice job

[@Furnitecture]

Nice work as always and I loved the photoshopped ending!

[@captainjerk]

Wow! It's so knobby! Thanx buddy! :D

[@JhaeMo777]

Nice knob!

[@mealex303]

Love the way it actually looks like a hand print and Photoshop was EPIC LOL

[@willienolegs8928]

Beautiful

[@lexshizumdot2115]

Always great

[@peteraugust5295]

Animations are top otch again. Hollywood is waiting for you!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Cool Dude, both you and the project! TFS, GB :) My claim to fame is that I got a graver from you @ the Makers Central 2019 show back before this covid thingy :(

[@uniqko]

You are so amazing

[@btdarterschannel112]

You packaged it just like Amazon packages everything! 📦📦📦🗜🚫🤣

[@thebee5772]

I love it. ❤

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Uri, The requirement was vintagey and orangey... You met the requirement on both counts... As always an enjoyable video, thank you. Take care. Paul,,

[@gerryoneill8881]

Class !

[@oxfd611]

I like the color URI.

[@viorsa8200]

Magnífico trabajo Uri , un pomo para la palanca de cambio de madera , con incrustacion de metal y mano grabada , normalmente no se ve artesanía en este sector , gracias por compartir , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓😜

[@buy_large_mansions]

Wow Uri !!! I didn't know you Prussians had such modern planes and KZbin and stuff.

[@mikebashford8198]

Love your work, but a bit bemused by the geography here - an Ethiopian Boeing 777 flies from Dresden (I think) to Porto (I think) where the knob is picked up by someone in a Netherlands registered camper ...

[@martinhorner642]

I would like to take this opportunity to express just how much Uri rocks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That's how much: 5/5 rock stars

[@NickToland]

Nice Hamsa!

[@jnsdroid]

loved the "pre-enactment" edit

[@roadracing22]

That painting is the 2nd best part of this video.

[@chasethe_dr3am986]

Best idea for a project... A music box with your own tune!! Or just make some weird shit again lol

[@Produkt_R]

It's nice of you to lend her a "hand"

[@07roadking43]

Love that saw you used in the beginning, did you make that or was that a purchased saw ? If you dont mind me asking, that knob came out awesome!!!!!!!!

[@eveydetta2914]

Shalom. Danke

[@oldb-1kenobi]

It looks...delicious.

[@davegoldy1025]

Nice hamsa man

[@user-yg5gr7pt7s]

чаще бы наблюдать ваши выпуски видео

[@jaschaeidam7469]

Watchmaker Roommate appreciates the perlage, but complaints about a headache from watching your unbalanced lathe, he thinks you need a new belt (for the machine, not pants)

[@iamarawn]

Anyone know where to get that hand saw? That looks amazing, especially with that blade on it.

[@samanthadean1083]

Part of me is very amused by the leftover space in the delivery box, the other part is wondering if I can order something for when I buy my own camper van!!! 🤔
