Here's the assembled shop-made bandsaw tension crank. The main part
was made from pallet wood (oak). Draw the knob and crank shape onto
the stock. Route the block of oak stock such that the top knob fits
inside the wood. Cut a metal ring with center hole and three
countersunk screw holes. You will need to remove the bandsaw rod to
slip the ring over it. The handle is made from a long threaded screw.

You did a prettier job than mine. I just used a piece of allthread
rod. Here is a picture.

Yeah, but yours won't be destroyed by termites.
