:ö: as for the "outside pieces" yes, it's easier to make a yoke if you use a tubing, but on my trucks i curved it out of a solid steel shaft using handheld drill, as for the + in the middle, what you can do is use a 1mm brass/ steel tube drill 0.8mm hole on its side so when you insert a .8 steel/brass rod it would form the +, now cut a small solid square brass/steel that fit in the middle of the yoke, then drill 1mm on one side and drill another .8mm hole on the other side, drilled holes should intersect each other. now, you should be able to push the 1mm rod inside it and remember that you drilled a .8mm size hole on its side?, this is where you slip in a .8mm steel or brass rod, and the finished product should look like a cross with a box in the middle of it, that's how i created the crossjoint.
