If you do want to do a bit better filming, Action Cameras can be had on Amazon for sub £50 including a waterproof case.
I've got this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01HPXH29Q/ and can't fault it for what I've done with it.
Rather spend the £46.38 on more aluminium to anodise…Way more entertainmentThat is £46.38 too expensive for me as the phone will suffice for the little I film

Wow, I wish I had such kit and the knowledge/skill to use it. Brilliant!Found the aluminium today so made a couple of the balls from it and anodised them black.

Indicating bores in the mill to get them centred for further boring?
Hmmm, maybe I should try that.
Isn't there a bit in Machinery's Handbook on measuring and calculating helical leads? My copy (a very old one!) has all sorts of useful formulae!
An Umpalumpa authenticity checker?
And I've just found the latest sketch which shows a 4th variationJust made a quick CAD model to try and interpret a dimensioned 2D sketch, that doesn't match the 3D assembly sketch, of which neither match the instructions
