I didn't express myself very well. I haven't made the part yet. That is the part I have to copy.

My mistake! I didn't read it accurately...in that case, good luck with it! I had to fabricate some replacement metal lugs for the back panel of a Royal Model P case (along with the piece of panel that the original lugs disappeared with...). I struggled to find out what the original ones looked like, but accuracy of design wasn't that critical and on a larger scale than your challenge. I bought a used pillar drill and a used bench grinder off eBay, which have been really useful.

I'm very fortunate that I have a small machine shop with lathe, mill, drill, welders, bandsaw, etc. I also have quite a bit of woodworking equipment. You are right. The diminutive size makes creating an accurate part difficult even though I have a sample to copy. But that's part of the fun.

Far better than my work of yesterday - when building some wooden shelving for my cellar typewriter workshop I managed to screw together part of the wooden framework around my folding workbench, effectively trapping the damn thing in the middle of the frame...doh!
