Somebody already did this recently… or at least mostly. They weren’t aiming for fingerspins, so it wasn’t lathed/sanded exactly right for that purpose, but it was clear that it could be done. ---

Wish I could remember who did this… For $10, I’d be willing to take my chances on a drill press (use the axle in the chuck), but if you press too hard with the abrasive or scraper, the torque could cause problems with the threads or hub. ---

I could probably do it lol. Won’t work well because the Classic wobbles too much. ---
