Who doesn't have a knob in their house?! Dressers, kitchen drawers, cubboards, boxes, chests...oh, the list goes on and on! In the day of Trading Spaces were people are "tricking out" their living space to personalize and individualize, now is the perfect time for hand made knobs! And now you can make a set of matching hand crafted knobs without pulling out your hair! Same size and shape, but the sky is the limit on how to decorate them!! Hard to buy for teen, Mother who doesn't wear jewelry, Father who is proud of your work (but doesn't even want beads on a key chain...The solution in knobs for his desk drawers at work, or his Armoire). I'm sure you thought of people in your own life that would love a set for christmas. Great Hostess gifts! Need I go on?
This tool is made of 1" brass. It is a substantial tool designed to work perfectly with the hardware invented and produced by Marj Bates of Scituate MA. Marj has been making knobs for 8+ years, and invented a fabulous kit to make knobs that are ready to install right out of the kiln. No messy glue or epoxy...just lay your glass on the steel insert, shape knob, decorate, pop in kiln and voila...beautiful accent that is ready to install immediately, with the included screws.
The Press makes a knob that measures 1" in diameter and has a tube about 7/16" long which allows for easy grasping. You should use the MAK Kit by Marj Bates with this tool. We have a Zoozii's Exclusive Kit available, which contains:
3 Threaded Mandrels
12 Steel Inserts
12 Screws
Basic Instructions on how to use your kit.
All you need to be making beautiful knobs for yourself, as gifts or to sell in addition to your lampwork beads!
