A Youtube video of Casting and Machining a hand wheel with only a lathe, oxy torch, home made indexer and ball turner.

Good examples of what can be achieved with a little inginuity.

And of course, any self-respecting home workshop would have Oxy equipment !

Most of use are lucky to have even a blowlamp.

I would buy a metal round offcut and machine one, not having the means to cast metal.

Well the melting could have been done with a charcoal furnace and vacuum cleaner blower, Nice to see the 'casting floor' is below the level of the standing area.
Concave radius tool is a nice simple thing that could be of use to wood turners.
