I think he only has a mini mill and lathe at his disposal.
You could do it by holding the piece in the lathe chuck and then drill a series of holes using a hand-held drill. Then clean up with a file. You may be able to make an attachment that bolts to your cross slide and holds the drill firmly in place.
Other option is to drill the start and end holes and then join them up using a rotary tool (e.g. Dremel), using the metal cutting disc and then finish with the sanding drum.
Personally, I'd go for the second option.
