I came to say this. It's an exterior snap ring around the outer circumference of the inner component on the square side, which will allow the entire inner component to slide through to the direction switch side.

These are nicer as you don't risk the screws coming loose, but they suck when the rings get coated in grease and you can't get them off for a servicing cause they sat for years and don't sound right.

For the ball retention on the mandrel, look at peening. It's basically deforming the edge of a hole inwards after you have inserted the BB to keep it in place. I design torque wrenches for a living (basic more complex version of the ratchet you're making :p ), if you need any info let me know!

isn't it easier to just drill and mill with a ball endmill the seat where the ball is going to rest on. then tap the back and insert a spring and a threaded tap from the back?

Not really, it's multiple ops and a accurately sized hole means you only need to drill once, then add the spring, the ball, then peen.

Hey Alec, for those round head rachets, there is a flat retainer spring that is installed along the face side of the rachet. Once you remove that spring, the head is quite easy to disassemble. Hope that helps.

I have found over the years that Damascus steel tends to be brittle when it comes to tools where you have to apply pressure or power , it’s like it’s made of glass ,now on the other hand cutting is fine , spoons & spatulas are great for Damascus . Every ax I’ve ever own that was Damascus steel has either cracked or just blown apart or shattered into pieces . I tend to stay away from the stuff myself .

Hey. Little friendly tip. When I work on the lathe, and want it to be symetrical. A swap that point (Sorry for not knowing name of it. I'm from Czech) to drill chucks. Then it'll be cca same. All that's left, is to tighten big lathe chuck and swap back to that pointy thing.

A DRO is a wonderful piece of technology. We've DRO's on the lathes and mills at our school but at my workplace and at home there isn't a DRO on the lathes, so doing any work on a lathe i need a piece of paper to write down the last numbers before changing the dials. I can't imagine using a mill without a DRO.
