That looks cool. Is it as simple as turning down the end of the shaft to a precise dia. (+/- 0.001" or so) then sliding on a thrust bearing, inserting it in to the block, and sliding on the other thrust bearing? I've seen where one person uses a ny-lock nut to hold the thrust bearings on, how are you doing it?
Should the bearings be so tight you have to chill the rod and heat the bearings to get them on?
