The Jeweler's Lathe Part 1: The Spindle

This is a sort of medium-length project I am taking on in preparation for some longer term projects I want to start in the future. I consider this a bit of machine design practice for my next big project. I'm calling this a Jeweler's lathe; a manual lathe that is laid out for small to mid-sized manual turning of ornamental shapes. This is part one, where I design and make the spindle.
