Ok, the more I think about this idea the dumber it looks- I suspect that, at best, I would end up with a bronze sleeve shrunk so tight onto a dummy shaft that it would be impossible to remove. I guess there have got to be a plenty of reasons why everyone isn't doing it. So scrap the poured bush idea. I've seen the above clip, as well as a few others with homebrew line-boring setups but I've been stumped by how to drive and feed the boring shaft; a mag-base drill would be great but I don't have one and they are big $$$. I've come up with an idea to use the head off my drill press to turn and feed a shaft with a boring tool on the other end, might just be crazy enough to work.
