Preparing the Blanks

  • Cut 3/4" to 5/8" square blanks to the length of the brass tubes (add 1/16" for squaring off).
  • Drill an 8mm center hole lengthwise through each blank.
  • Spread glue over tube. Insert the tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside. Center each tube lengthwise in the blanks.
  • When the glue dries, square the ends of the blanks. Use an 8mm barrel trimmer or use a belt/disc sander to trim the wood down flush to the end of the brass tubes.

Diagram A / Turning The Blanks

Turning the Blanks

  • Place the stop bushing onto the mandrel hand tight, or use 4 or 5, 7mm bushings. Place one of the end bushings (wider dia. first) on the mandrel. Then slide on either blank. Place the center bushing on the mandrel.
  • Slide on the other blank and follow with the other end bushing, (narrow dia. first). Thread on the lock nut hand tight. Bring the tail stock snug with the mandrel. (Do not overtighten, it could damage the mandrel).
  • Slide the stop bushing (if used) toward the blank adjusting to remove spaces (add additional bushings if necessary). Then tighten the set screw and tighten the lock nut.
  • Turn the wood down flush with the bushings using a lathe chisel and gradual higher grits of sand paper. Final sand both blanks for later finishing.
  • Finish the blanks with your choice of polish and waxes.
