To work with a lever making it fit correctly is a well-known PITA. To make a lever form scratch is a real torture. You are a brave man, Sir :thumbup:

I rough it out with the band saw then the mill with a 2mm carbide endmill as close as i can get to the trace lines then sand it even closer with a small belt sander and then flies, sand paper on a glass plate so it sands flat.
