Thanks aRM, wouldn't require anything special, think most are made on a wood lathe freehand. You need to drill a hole through the material your using for the skin, a brass tube is glued or pressed, arbours are available to turn the OD on. I use a brass mandrel in a collet for the drive end and a short mandrel with a centre hole at the tailstock, A sharpe HSS cutter left a good finish then sanded and polished.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
