Here is how I do them:
I start out by cutting off the existing knob:
The bolt goes into the vise in a fixture that sets the angle and then it's milled perpendicular:
A hole is driled down into the shank:
A setscrew is turned down into a pin that will lightly press into the hole:
The setscrew is pressed into the bolt handle shank:
The setscrew is tig welded to the bolt handle shank:
The bolt knob threads on to the setscrew:
Finished results:

This is the best way. There are other ways such as turning down the old knob and threading it but sometimes you run into void areas of metal (holes). It works in most cases but this is by far the best approach.
