Very nice. Another addition to my "to do" list.
I suggest that you start the drilling (after the center drill) with a hole to provide #2 free fit so you have a hollow shaft to use on longer bolts.
Also, it is worth considering adding a counter sink to the end to help with alignment. This could then be faced off after the hex is formed.

Incidentally, if you want to buy instead of make I can very highly recommend the Wiha miniature drivers in both metric and inferial...
