Well, I enjoyed doing it but then I enjoy making and fixing things. It was 'just' a matter of turning some plastic rod to make the body/flange, putting a groove in it for the fixing clip (fortunately one of my parting tools was the right width) and drilling the right pattern of holes (one in the middle, 8 in a circle round it, 12 in a circle round that -- fortunately I have a dividing head).

And to me that's a lot more interesting that watching television or whatever.
