I had a Aluminum plug with a stainless steel top plate made for me to mate my Atlux to the head of a 150mm tube of a home made pier. Took a machinist in Brookvale, NSW about 2 hours to do - cost me around $120. It was beautiful to watch and the final product made me stunned with how pleasing the piece looked. I'd go so far as calling it therapeutic watching the work (I came back to watch the last 15 minutes).

The machinist told me certain professional - doctors, barristers etc took up training courses with him because they found it just like me - a total break from what they do and incredibly satisfying!
