Default Making wheel axles

Anyone have a good method to make their own wheel axles?

The type where the aluminum strut comes down, and a small bolt bolts in with a stub axle sticking out.

Like this-


My lathe isn't set up yet, so I'd be using music wire of the axle diameter and threading it (seems sketchy) or maybe using a short bolt drilled lengthwise with the wire inserted into the hole and held captive with sleeve retainer, solder, etc.

Anyone braze something clever together or such?

Ask me why your DX5e is doomed... and how to fix it.
