Didn't think to take pictures while I was working, but here are pictures of the finished product.
Made from 1in aluminum stock on a grizzly G0765.
Didn't plan anything, just chucked it up, indicated and turned.
Drilled out the bottom spindle and added a ball bearing with some loctite 609.
For the finish I started with coarse medium and fine Emery paper, then went from 320 to 2000 grit paper.
Best run time so far is 1 min 45 sec, which is decent. I think AI is to light for a spinning...
