Shaft Diameter Reduction Tool Part 3: Bronze Shaft

Part 3 of building a Shaft Diameter Reduction Tool, which will be used to reduce the shank diameter of D-bit drills that will be used for step drilling long bores for bagpipes.

This is inspired from an article " An Unusual Turning Tool-Holder For Slender Work-Pieces" by W.M.H., The Model Engineer, June, 1950.

This video illustrates the facing of the bronze shaft that the bronze bushings (or dies) will be cut from. Center drilling operations unfortunately done off-camera for safety.
