That looks pretty good to me!
The next thing that needed doing was recessing the pivot hole to fit the head of the pivot pin.
I need to make this.... |
...look like this. |
I didn't have a drill bit of a suitable size kicking around, nor did I have my calipers about so I could check what I was looking for so I decided to try something different.
First I drilled the counterbore with a drill bit smaller than what I'm aiming for and then used one of the pivot bolts in the chuck to remove the final lip.
In this picture, I tried it with one of the flat sides as the main shaft is thicker.
It didn't work too well so I decided to sacrifice one of the screw heads instead.
I have chamfered two sides so that the slots of the screwdriver slot act as cutting teeth on the wood.
It's no longer useable on the rebuild, but I had planned to only use on of the two bolts so no issue.
It worked a charm. Combine that with a bit of shaping and it now looks like this:
