Todays Project - What did you do today?

[Vinny]

Not the greatest pic and too late to get a better one..  A friend of mine had a bearing seize on his trailer and they wanted around $900 for a replacement spindle.So he got a hunk of hot rolled around 4 or 4-1/2" dia and we turned it down... and turned... and turned...  till we finally got it.  There were multiple steps for rear seal, outer bearing, inner bearing, then the threaded end.  Afterward there was the milling of the flat, then the drilling of the hole for the cotter pin.   So here it is, what you can see of it..
