Steam knob - finally

Kelsey

My local hardware store had the attached in stock, but not in 8mm. He's seeing if they can get them in.

Or I could order some from here if they can't get 'em: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/M8-T-NUTS-4-Prong-BZP-Pack-10-/180572041180?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&hash=item2a0aeeafdc#ht_500wt_1180

All the M8 bolts fit perfectly, checking online it looks mike M8 is 1.25, so it should be good. Pity about the t nuts, I did wonder that - thought it might compromise the aesthetic.

Photos! I fruiting LOVE this knob. (steam knob, that is!) Mark, thank you! Even traumatizing a favored sister in law is worth this. 😉 The finish is quite different. The knob is a satin/matte finish compared to the gloss of the PF. I actually prefer the knob's finish, really classy. If more pics are required just let me know!

Not sure what finish I truly like, but many have commented that the lacquer is better for an item with lots of use/abuse... I think the school is still out re PF handles but the shiny gloss does seem to attract more users...

I personally still like the one you did for me that I did in a soak in decking oil, followed by orange oil (to get a better smell). I haven't had to recoat since I got it, as the oil from my hands seems to be doing a great job. Looks like the day I got it.

I clean mine before I take photos. I clean mine thoroughly once a week though to spotless.
