I will make a radius turning attachement. Had a rummage through my bars and pulled out a bit of 30mm hydrualic chrome bar for the pivot pin.
Not sure what grade I am guessing 817m40 as it was hard work, chipped a good boring insert, parted ok but a cheaper tap wouldnt touch it, this new swisstech did ok but it was tough!
Didnt want to screwcut so parted a m16 bolt.
The plan is to turn a thick wall bit of tube and weld a block to that to become the tool holder. Lock it in place with superglue to allow drilling and boring to hold an insert tool. Piece of bar in the tool holder and use a 4mm endmill to get the insert pocket at the correct height.

Sea fishing weight gripper wires in springy stainless wire might be what you need .. sadly I no longer have any left as I had to give up sea fishing 12 yrs ago due to back problems .Made a retaining clip from 316 1.2mm tig wire, which appears to have been a bad choicethe problem being that 316 can not be quench hardened and after bending, is still quite soft and easily bends out of shape, as opposed to being hard and springy, retaining the shape.
It appears if I want to use this wire I need to significantly work harden it before bending. Top is the original.

B&Q are selling a fairly springy stainless wire on a reel ...might be worth checking that one out .

I mostly gave up sea fishing because there weren't any sodding fish worth catching out off the Essex coast...

Oh I don't know:
When the redbull arrives
It's too heavy for anything but ground based, might make a good marshmallow toaster...

Trying on parts for compatibility. Matryoshka. Old brake discs help out 2 times.
Looks great, how are the cable gutters fixed? Are they welded on?

Yes, welded on, on 50mm standoffs.
Made a retaining clip from 316 1.2mm tig wire, which appears to have been a bad choice

Try to find an old solid type throttle cable from a lawnmower very strong & very springy.

Could you repurpose a stainless R clip? Not sure on the heat treatment required to reshape these type:

Not sure that it qualifies as actually making anything especially purposeful, but I did carry out some test glueing operations on Perspex, using methacrylatey stuff.
Leaving the test pieces overnight to go off properly, and will try to break them apart in the morning....

Marking the holes for connecting the vice and part of the cross lathe support. 7 pies M6 imbus bolts should be enough.
