Modelling in CAD then CNCing certainly is the way to go.. Then this video shows the fascinating way it can be done manually, using a lathe with a revolving toolpost. Fascinating. I guess the revolving toolpost remains laterally stationary, and the rotation of it is controlled by the lathe's leadscrew. Now there is a project for MEW, a how to make on of those!

 
(BTW if you click on the YouTube icon at the top of a post and follow the simple instructions, video is posted thusly which is more user friendly.)

The clever bit must be setting those multiple tools to correct position.........
