You would need a lot of equipment to get them machined properly from what I understand.

Honestly it is probably cheaper to just buy a set from Rizzag than to risk doing it yourself.

These are what I run and am very happy with the product.

Splitty Spindles?
I've made my own you just need access to a press to press apart then back together, check these links they should help.

I got mine from Franklinsvwwerks. I watched him make a set, and beleave me, it's involved! You don't happen to have a 2 ton mill sitting in your garage do you? No...nether do I

, but for a few hundred of your hard earned dollars, you can get a set from Frank. Or check out Red9Design in the UK, Simons got a nice kit he sells.

Good luck!
