Fun is'nt it
It is worth it in the end just for the satisfaction.

I was looking at bigger drill bits, but for 2 items it wasn't worth it. I might well have changed my mind by the end of the second one though.
Yours look very smart, I doubt I will have the collar around the offset though, I don't have a 4 jaw chuck, so will leave the very top flat (although I have seen things turned on an eccentric by putting a coin on one jaw - might try it)
I only have a tiny lathe though, so it takes extra long because I can't take heavy cuts
still, means as I take my time there is less chance of a c0ck-up
You're right about it being satisfying though - I did my steering rack extensions and it is a nice feeling when it all works out correctly. I only learned to use the lathe recently, as part of this project.
