Umm, by accident. The original knurled knob was held in the contraption with a bolt and nut through some wood and also had the dividing plate from my wood lathe sandwiched in the mix. I was attempting 12 flutes but the rotational forces unscrewed the work which allowed it to lift and rotate resulting in the interesting pattern. More pics to come but work is in the way at the moment.

it didn't beat me
With the second attempt I got the cap screw fluted. I've got a dividing head (patiently waiting for a mill to materialise) and had dismissed it because I 'worked out' that when rotated to vertical I wouldn't have enough height in the drill press. I re-visited this and found that there was just enough height.

Still waiting on my brass order so I dragged out a piece of bulloak and split a piece off.

Planed a flat side, cut a piece off with the bandsaw and planed to thickness.

I've also got the two pieces roughed out.

That's it from me for now.

I want a milling machine to go with it. I've never used a mill before but they look handy and I hadn't used a metal lathe until I got one.

Not a lot to report from my shed tonight.
I fitted the cap wood to the lever cap but that's about it.

I just had to do a bit of a mock up for a family shot.

Looks like it's all coming together nicely.
