I picked up a lathe a few weeks ago and I am trying my hand at turning Joystick Tops for sale. Here are the samples that I have done so far. I'll have more and each one gets better than the last. Wood will be $10 and the Acrylic will be $15 each plus shipping.

A batch of Oak ready for sale. These are not perfect as each is hand turned and may have a small tear out.

These two are not for sale but to show a varatiey.

Nice work on the balltops.
I remember back in the day when I turned a wooden balltop on a lathe and stuck it on an original Atari 2600 joystick so I could get closer to the real arcade experience.
Just out of curiosity, what joysticks would these balltops fit on? Happs, Sanwa, etc.?

Thanks ArtMAME, these are still rather rough but will only get better. These will fit Sanwa JLF & JLW as well as Seimitsu LS-32 sticks. I'll let these imperfect Oak tops go for $5 each plus shipping.
