Very clever turning. Just something you 'had' to do, or part of something bigger?

Thank you. Yea I had not much else on the to do list so made this, it was just some testing to see if it where possible in other projects. The bearing would run smother if all of the balls where the same size :doh:

The way the balls are inserted is,
Bring all of them down to one side
Press the inner ring to one side until they become detached
