Finally got a camera this year, well we got the kids one.
The live center is made of parts from the local hardware store.
A 3/4" steel axle
A bronze bearing to match
A brass washer
A fender washer
A locking nut
You would need to grind a point on the end of the axle, I did it by spinning it against a belt sander.
On the drive end I use a cut off speedbore bit that I "unsharpened"
a pipe flange and a piece of pipe with a brace clamped to the drill press.
It's worked for the past couple of years
