I'll need a handle to open the safe with but after doing some thinking, it's not going to be exactly what I wanted. I would've loved to make a handle with three spokes, five would be ideal, but I just don't have the room to do either of those. So what I settled on is a single handle, or one spoke. I'll show you why soon.

I made this center piece out of stainless steel and the smaller area to the left will have a set screw. Later I'll add the handle to the 15 degree angle.
 

I'm getting ready to drill and tap for a 1/4-20 thread, which will be for the set screw. While I have the piece in the vise, I'm scribing a line for the handle. I wanted the set screw and handle to be inline with each other. That way the set screw isn't as noticeable.
 

The handle will also be made out stainless steel and this will be something new for me to make. Not that the previous piece wasn't new, but that part is what I'd call straight forward lathe work. However, this piece is different and will be more of a challenge. 

I removed the tool holder temporally while using my indicator during this set up. 

Here I'm using my sine bar to make sure my angle is exactly what I want. I made a block that is on the right end of the sine bar (arrow A) and is resting against the compound, which corresponds to the angle that I need. To make sure it stays in place, I'm using a large clamp with a soft jaw so it doesn't scratch anything. The angle that I'm after is 2 degrees and 45 minutes (2 3/4 degrees). No big deal with a sine bar.

By loosening the two nuts on either side of the compound, you can move it 360 degrees. Once you have the angle that you want, you tighten down the nuts and then move the dial on the compound to remove material (arrow B).
 

Here is how this works, you keep moving the compound a little at a time until the indicator stays still while moving the carriage longitudinally (left and right). Once you have the indicator stay at zero that means you have the angle that you want. At this point you can lock down the compound and you're ready to cut some metal.
 

My lathe has a vernier scale for doing angles (like most) but if you look close the reference line is not vertical. I know this isn't an expensive machine but someone did a really bad job here. Plus, I would no way be able to set this precise angle by using this scale.
 

What you see below is just a partial cut along with a radius on the end of my handle. The reason I did this is because my work piece has already been machined to length. That means I don't have the luxury of holding onto any extra material while machining, so I'm doing some forward thinking here.

The length of that angle below is about 1/2" long, and will serve as the start of my handle that will have my 2 degree and 45 minute taper on it. I wasn't sure how to do this but this is what I came up with for a single piece. If I were to make a bunch of these handles, I'd do it differently. 
 

I drilled and tapped 1/4-20 threads in one end, which will fasten to my center piece that I made earlier. I'll also use these threads to help hold my work piece to some tooling that I made. On the other end where my angle has been cut, this will be held with another piece of tooling that will help stabilize my work piece while it's being cut.
 

I made the inside diameter of the pocket slightly larger than my work piece. The depth of the pocket is .200" deep and should be enough to hold things from moving.
 

This should give you a better idea of what I'm doing. Now I'm ready to use my compound to cut my angle. Side note: what I didn't show you is the clearance I had to put on the right hand piece of tooling so I could get my cutting tool in the right spot. All I did was slowly machine away some of the aluminum (next to the angle) which only took about one minute.
