It was about four hours from the extrusion to the first model, then another hour to add the final detail and cut it in half.

It is English . . .well sort of geek.
I have purchased the same model as MJ and it is a cracking bit of gear and so much cheaper than these things were a few years back. I'm OK on the theory but I am lucky in that my 36 year old son is also dead keen. He is playing on Autocad at the moment designing something for my model tramway. Just hoping that it all comes together.

I still don’t understand but I like it! good job you put plenty of pictures up! You went from a curve extruded too a masterpiece! Amazing I’ve done the tutorials and and that was fine so I went onto drawing what I wanted to make and nothing I had learnt applied to what I wanted to draw with double curvatures.
Respect! Dave

Fusion 360 can import an image as a background and then you can sketch over the top of it, but I find old Autocad much faster to draw with in 2D, then just pull the DXF in to Fusion and go from there

The knob itself is pretty generic, as long as it's not too big or too small any would do.
The critical bit is getting the fitting to the spindle correct, so that it stays on, grips and rotates the spindle and is the correct depth to allow for the "press down" function. Luckily I found an ancient control knob, looks like something from a ham radio or DIY stereo setup, that fitted perfectly.
