This is clever, and seems to me a somewhat nicer solution than press-fitting - I will have to add this to our team's list of things to try.
It'd also be a good opportunity to get the students to practice drilling into the end of a shaft accurately with our hobby lathe, which is something we seldom do (c.f. turning down a shaft).
