use of adhesive to support the inner pieces was a good idea. When I was a lad they used to get us to file a round bar square, then back to sphere, than square etc etc for about 6 months FFS - bloody CNC in the corner
I can't see the video without using a VPN because it's restricted in my area I've seen someone do a similar thing in wood and they don't glue anything together, it's the way they make the cuts in the solid block. I'm guessing you'd need a cnc milling machine to make one from aluminium billet.

Thanks for the explanations.
Not the whole of youtube, just some of the videos on there have geographical limitations set on them. It's a PITA because it means I need to reaccess via my VPN which just takes time.

I just seem to have reached the age where ALL my mates are having babies. I'm beginning to think pregnancy is a contageous disease. When I have mastered the baby clothes I'll let you know
