I'll give it a nudge. I got a mean lathe, and high school metal work skill level. What could possibly go wrong?

What are you after? If its less than 120mm round i can part them off for you at home

Depends what you want? maybe draw something up?

But im pressuming you want some spigoted spacers

You actually mean "can someone turn me up some spacers"
You "turn" on a lathe and mill on a mill....and drill on a drill , just to make it confusing
Not trying to be pedantic, just an observation.
