I thought about doing this for the axles but we only have a lathe and I dont think we have any tools to turn a round axle to a hex axle
Mcmaster sells hex axles which are long enough but the hole axle is hex

Is there a way for us to make the part of the axle hex without buying anything?
A. WCP is selling hex bearings for $7.5.
B. You can turn hex into round shaft with a standard lathe that has a 3 jaw check and just HSS tool. Also the hex pushing up against the bearing would help retain the shaft in place
