Wanted to see if I could do it. Made a pin vise from the library entry using a 1/4-20 bolt and an o-ring I had hanging on the pegboard. Grabbed a piece of my mystery wood, drilled it 4 1/4" deep and went for it. I plugged one end of the first tube with wax, put a bunch of epoxy in the hole and then pushed the tube in. The wax kept the tube clear and the tube wiped the walls of the hole enough so that the second tube was just a snug fit. While turning, the loose end was pretty springy, didn't even think about using the tail stock until it was all over, DUH! Finished with 10 coats of CA, but didn't spend much time on it, after all, this is a prototype.
Anyway, here it is. C&C appreciated.
