Vintage Style Pumpkin Knob/Drawer Pull

thingiverse

After Looking over sets of cabinet knobs in the bigger stores like True Value, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and some smaller stores, like Citi Trends, my partner and I decided we wanted to put knobs on our cabinets. Well, She keeps insisting that we wait for hobby lobby to mark down their stuff, but for the time being, I'm all about cheap stuff. Seeing how these cost me pennies on the dollar vs buying real ones for varying prices, I decided to prototype. This came out of it. I'm labeling this as a work in progress for the time being because there may be other ways I can work on it. I intend to use these as a temporary thing until my partner finds actual cabinet knobs she wants. You put the topper piece on a nut or bolt, with glue. Run it through the center of the pumpkin, which you either drill out or use the hole on the core one, afterwards. And then the bolt runs through the base piece that touches the cabinet or drawer. Lastly, you either finish it off with a nut on the other end, or if you're using a nut on the cap topper, You'd reverse these steps and run the bolt through the cabinet, then base, then pumpkin to nut on end of cap. I have made this for myself for convenience. As such, I do not have any thought process for how someone else would do this, so I'll probably use All-Thread that I cut to my exact needs with a Dremel and form that into my bolt until it works for me. Feel free to use it as you please, improve on it, work with it, comment or however you want to do.
