    Due to the tyrany of distance.......and money.......with the availability of time......I tend to make a lot of bits rather than buy off the shelf items!

    A little late in posting, I apologize, but hey, Say woodbox, can you make me a shifter for my 41 chevy hot rod project.. :D (for about 40$ ?? including sh:eek:))..
    Just kidding, no doubt you have a lathe and some great knowledge of how to use it,
    I could learn a lot from you,,
    Just to be sure, how much would you charge to make a kind of generic shifter for a chevy t350?? and then sh to 93610?
    I know I am a dreamer,, it would be one of a kind for sure,,
    GREAT JOB woodbox!
