Now that you've turned your stock to a 3" dia. cylinder, you're ready to start the funnel top-piece.

Follow the specs provided by the attached .AR_PRT file (Alibre Design Express Part file)

You're going to want to lathe the "inner" portion of the funnel piece (highlighted in the picture) first, then do the top portion of the funnel piece later.

You may need to change the direction of the bit that you're using on occasion.

For the center hole, use a large (1/2 in dia?) drill bit.

Finally, part the Funnel from the aluminum stock using a parting operation. (http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Operation/Parting/parting.htm for help)
