Good luck having it made. Everyone I've spoken to puts it together from pieces mostly gather from a hardware store. There's a placle locally called "Fort Worth Bolt and Tool that sells . Cold steel rod, ball bearings and stop collars. ( You can get a pretty clear Idea from the "Dutch Supplement" PDF on www.hurdygurdy.com.) I used a rod of allthread for my first and the usual nuts and washers: there is some shaping on the head end that probably wouldnt be tried without a metal lathe. As the rod comes in 1 yard ( a little shorter than a meter ) lentghts, I made up a half dozen blanks. That lathe is not inaccesible and I don''t know what I'm going to do next time....
Good luck either way.
