Good stuff!
Perhaps bigger knobs will cover the pot holes?
Very Fairfield!

Nice going!  I just used some home made mounted pots for my kingslayer the other day.  It's a nice trick.

I tried bigger knobs like standard davies and boss style with a skirt but they where too big too fit the spacing.

But.........., i kind of like that look, it's raw........i love raw stuff, i tried some aluminum knobs i had...but only had 3, going to upgrade the knobs on this one......The aluminum knobs with all the bare edges made by the holes and sanding gave a really nice «industrial» look, to me.

Thanks!
