Good Job keeping it concentric, a skill not many machinists have. To visualize the part and its stress relieving movements. To adjust cuts in just the right places and plan ahead for this takes experience that is priceless. Machinists are underappreciated and under paid.

1946~1995, that's when machinists were real machinists. I started trade school in 1990, all manual machines ,so at least I got some taste of a good old times

In 1984 I worked for a month as an aluminum caster at „FSO Warszawa”. We had leather shoes, but no one had heard of such covers for the top of the foot. To this day I have a delicate reminder on my left foot after a drop of aluminum (about 30ml) dripped from my shank ladle.

Ja pamiętam w 1990 jak chodziłem do szkoły zawodowej to na warsztatach musieliśmy nosić berety na głowie, ale okularów nikt nie wymagał. 😅 Tak samo my musimy nosić te buty (metatarsal boots) ponieważ ubezpieczenie tak wymaga. Czy to uratuje twoją stopę jak coś spadnie, raczej takie sztuki jak ja obrabiam, chyba nie bardzo .

Nice job! High level of turning skills.

Hey Man ! Why aren't you made a new center hole after you flip the shaft ?

Do you pre center drill your parts on another machine? Like a manual lathe? I tend to do that before loading mine up just seems easier sometimes

This thing doesn't spin at all, there's just a lot of force in pushing and pulling. Probably that's why one piece design. Follow rest would have be a best option.
