Now that is a very good way of performing the task with out having a lot of bore size specific bushes.
Good job!
When I was young and poor I learnt a trade, and after many years of hard work I’m not young anymore.

Well, technically, you made a broach.
A definition of a broach (Merriam Webster):
any of various pointed or tapered tools, implements, or parts: such as a cutting tool for removing material from metal or plastic to shape an outside surface or a hole
Clever implementation, cut just what you need rather than the whole hole...
