Why don't you buy a cheap Ebay Chinese Lathe and learn to use it. They are not expensive or hard to use. I can tell you, it's WAY more fun to make these parts! I've never been taught to use a lathe or read a book about it, I just got stuck in.
@@SwiftSlots that is the eventual plan, however those sort of plans will have to wait until after the arrival of SlotR Junior at the end of November and the ensuing chaos thereafter :) For now I'm going to have to busk it low tech :)
