Very well made!
Are they wire-rope shackles at the pivot end of the arm? I don't know the correct name for these things...they consist of a U-bolt and a cast piece, used to clamp wire rope.

Thank you all for the complements.
The arm is made of Bamboo and yes, both pivot and weight and attached to arm by wire clamps.
Both platter and splint are filled with lead shots.
Bearing is made of a ¾”x 5.0” very high tolerance hardened to 60 RHc and polished pin and highest tolerance available Bronze bushings total cost about $15.

Good job Izik!
I hope you have a spiral groove on your bearing sleeve, otherwise lubrication may be a problem for the inverted bearing, especially for the ball.
Enjoy!

Shalom Micheal.
The sleeves are "off the shelf" oil impregnated items. I didn't find any with spiral.
I just put few drops of oil before each play.( i drilled a small hole off-center in the Delerin plate )
If you ever stop by Haifa you are most welcome to visit and listen
Cheers

Thanks Dario,
Its pretty strait forward unipivot
The cup is 90deg. machined in a rope clamp.
The pivot is 60 deg with a small radius at the end.
Tonearm wire is taken off the back of a hard drive reading arm….
The Bamboo has a very thin layer of a very hard varnish (the type used to pain guitars) to make it stiffer.
