Sam – suspect this is the original Radford design (ME 4 Oct 1968 p968)that was sold with slight modification as a Hemingway kit

If you have a boring head for your mill, make a MT-parallel sleeve adaptor and housing for your top slide or tool post, a handle, and voila – ball turning tool.

Fine in principle, but are you familiar with the Cowells lathe ? : **LINK**
