Do It Yourself Bolt Knob Install

[Mud]

I was going to send my bolt out to get a Badger knob installed, but I found a few forums posts of people do it themselves. So I decide to give a shot. After I was done I was pretty impressed by my own work. The whole job took me about 2 and half hours. The only thing I have to finish is some rough edges round the threads and paint the bolt. Check out the pictures below.

The link below is what give me the courage and idea of doing it myself.

Very nice work. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to take my bolt to a bench grinder, but I salute you for your fortitude!

I have a lathe and a jig to do that but whatever it takes to make it work for you. Good job.
