Tony (and others), I apoligise if I came across as trying to exclude anyone. Certainly in a group build, any and all can participate. I fully expect that everyone who does make parts shows (or at least posts) on how they did it, as even the simple tasks may not be clear to those just starting out.
Something like the axle is, apparently just a plain shaft. However, how does the new guy figure out how to make them all the same length, especially if he doesn't have any collets (I don't) with a backstop. Making one isn't a big deal, but making half a dozen is a different thing.
I'm just a grouchy old guy, so take my indignation with a grain of salt. And a beer or two.
