CNC'ing a shift knob

[SVTED]

I want a new shift knob and I've been looking online and anything decent seems pretty pricey. So I'm thinking about buying a chunk of aluminum and getting it CNC'ed at the school machine shop. Of course I don't know how much this is gonna cost me but seems like it'd be a cheaper alternative.

Anyone do this before?

I've made one out of stainless steel on a lathe before. What is pricey?

Well pricey is subjective of course but in my case more than $50 with shipping :laugh:
