Chuck,

Start with the lathe. I'm sure you'll find something on the net if you google.

Bernd

P.S.

Amazing. I did a search of Madmodder. Zilge. Same for HMEM. Nada

The net didn't show much either. Looks like you'll be the first to make one and post it on a forum. Kozo shows how to make one in his engine books he wrote.

Hi Chuck

There is a picture on this site that seems easy to make if it is what you had in mind

Chuck, this might be worth a look. It starts with using drills, but gets to lathes further down the first page.
