So .... next project is to make a new tote for your LN custom sized for yor hands, and then you will need a matching knob - I prefer knobs about 3mm larger diameter than LN and with a more flattenned top. You can probably cut out the tote with a jigsaw so you won't have to pull out the bandsaw.
Really liked the depth of thought behind the rest of your above post. Helps make this a great thread.
