I followed Engnaths instructions and used Yoshiharas recipe. My amateur writeup with pics is here http://www.freespeech.org/oz/projects4.htm
Hope it's useful for you.

Your write-up and pics are great. Went to the next page and especially liked the pics that show the stages of forging the ball bearing. Keep it up.
