This was one of the first things I ever made on my Bridgeport, about 18
years ago. I did have a rotary table, which helped. I took a piece of
very thick wall pipe, and cut radial slots in it to approximate the teeth
on the knee shaft. Then I drilled and tapped two holes in the other
face of the pipe, and bolted on a crank. Finally, another hole at the
end of the crank allowed a handle to be bolted to the crank. Ugly,
but very functional. I'm still using it.
