All I can say is " OUTSTANDING!!!"

Let's not get silly now. I'm very flattered by your compliment but I could stand to learn a lot from you! I made up a simple collet to hold the centers at the correct height in the rotary table for milling the holes prior to pressing them together. A bit of grinding on a two flute endmill provided a shape that I am somewhat happy with. I will take a picture of my setup when I get the chance. All simple parts really.
