Homemade live center

[Tozguy]

Have any of you folks made your own live center?
If so, would you mind sharing your design and experience making it?

searched for it but couldn't find it. it could be my old brain playing tricks on me.

For $12 why bother, I've had this for years, works great plus it can be used as a bullnose

I was going to try and beat him too it but I can't find the write up.
I did but just for a project. I use it when tolerances are not needed.
You need to grind it in with a toolpost grinder at a minimum while spinning the center.

You see, there's this thing called Hawaiian Time - we done when we done! Seriously, it's all wrote down, I just need to polish it up a little more.

My GF is from Hawaii so I know this well. She also often says to me things like "take your time but hurry up!" & "you slow ride". Hint hint

Filipino time & Korean time is pretty much the same that I have learned from friends.
