#1: Post by **dmccallum** » March 9th, 2014, 2:09 pm

I'm looking for a set Faema cabinet thumb nuts for my President.
Can anybody help?

2 x side panel 4mm

and 4 glass panel 5mm

Does anyone have spares or had some made in the past and be willing to let a few go?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Derek,

I make those a lot, I'll see what bar stock I have left.

Here you go, I had bit of time inbetween other jobs. Luckily I only made some others a few weeks ago so it was quite straightforward. Knurling the bar stock:

After that they were drilled, tapped and cut to length. Then after that I have to produce the bowl shape on the glass panel screws and then make the tapered nuts for the side panels. Then deburr and polish.

Technically the side screws should be brass and then chromed, but these look great in polished aluminium.

Drop me an email to sort something out.

Magic!
Ooooh I wish I had a lathe. I'll indulge myself one day...
