But.... my assortment of 4140 has arrived. Now I just need the energy to actually make the parts. 

I'll try to get into the woodshop where that arbor press lives and check that ratchet & pawl. It may be in good shape as the press has only been used a half-dozen times in the 7 or 8 years since my dad bought it.

Newest UPS delivery was this new old stock 1/2" solid carbide 2-flute ball end mill. It's a Valenite brand according to the seller, I haven't had enough time to put my loupe on and check that. I did go looking for a list price on it, but couldn't find anywhere in my archives where Valenite sold solid carbide ball mills. I'm fairly certain if they did it was just a reselling of a good brand because they only made carbide inserts.

I doubt any quality solid carbide ball mill of this size would sell for the price I paid off an eBay seller: $24.95, shipped.
