Large volume knob

I’m putting together the parts for a partscaster and was hoping to buy a large volume knob for it. Looking for something like the one on the Earthquaker Acapulco pedal. I’ve looked on eBay but not quite sure what key words to use in the search, I’m getting back results with knurled telecaster knobs. Thanks.

They are heated with propane or gas via copper pipe with small holes similar to gas stove burners. i had planned to use new piping but would probably have tried what’s there to see how it worked (being safety conscious of course) The molds are very well made, and I assume are cast alu…

Untangler Pro, approaching first production batch

Hi everyone, I am getting closer to finalising the specs for the first production run of the Untangler Pro. The Untangler Pro is made of stainless steel, and it is designed to clean up the underside of fret?s overhangs after clipping away the tang. It works with a Dremel or similar tool and a cutting wheel. The order for the parts needed for the first run will most likely go out next week, so if you want one, now is the time. You can mess…
