China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.

And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they're a company, but they're not the worst!
Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.
So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one -- not, but just a thief.
Just a thief?? That’s creative, solution seeking, and ecologically conscious problem solving right there
Yes, he's just a thief. The ends don't justify the means. I can't believe that needs to even be said.
That's a humongous oven, must be a 10+ person household.
And yet it runs with gas, as if we're still cavemen cooking meat over open fires.
Its the cheapest ¯\_(ツ) _/¯
90cm.
We have one for our 4 adult, 2 kid household. Its amazing how often it's not big enough for all sorts of things.
I think 2 X 60cm ovens make more sense in hindsight and they also dont take as long to heat up
Or its the house people designated as the holiday house, maybe! Only actually used fully a few times a year.
That's my house. We have dual ovens and use them simultaneously several times a year, mostly holidays.
My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don't need to keep using the broken one (manual only) anymore.
You didn't steal it, you 💫recycled💫.
*Reused, which is preferred to recycling even if the materials are 100% recyclable.
That's what I told to the store employee I encountered coming to work via the back door. He wasn't too happy but ultimately let me do it.
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A BOSCH OVEN KNOB
Now you can
DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WOULDN'T STEAL
Channel locks, adjustable wrench, or plyers are also acceptable. Plus then ya know damned well where they are.
This is why I always buy cheap vice grips whenever I see them in a box of tools at an estate sale or something.
"Oops, I broke a handle on (thing)."
Clamps vice grips on the bit left over
"Fixed it."
Right now both of the seats in my truck just have a vice grips for the reclining lever.
I had my shower knobs as vice grips for a long while
I'd eyeball the measurements in Blender and laugh at my crooked knob every time I use the stove.
You're still putting too much work into this. Just heat up the metal shaft where the knob was with a torch and press any old hunk of thermo plastic onto it. Now you have janky done even more quick and cheap.
What about the old vice grips that are now a permanent part of the stove trick?
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.
