Did you use the mill or the lathe? Both present their own challenges in set-up I'd imagine. The lathe would let you take a pass at an angle, making it kind of conical. Then you fit inside the BB while maintaining the surface engagement between crank arm and spindle. With the mill you're more likely just going to face it flat, which might make you a little more nervous. Even if something did fail I would not expect it to be catastrophic. I say go for it, either way.
