All parts should be tenoned into one another, preferably threaded as well. Relying on glue alone is not ideal.

What John said.
One tip to save a little time experimenting with it (though it might be obvious I didn't think of it in advance): I've found it looks much better if the transparent piece fits into the opaque piece (in other words, the window segment has a tenon that fits into the barrel). This avoids ugliness at the seam.

That's what I was thinking.

We're doing ours without assistance currently but there is a tenon cutter that will work for single and triple start threads.
I know with practice one could very efficiently make tenons without needing a cutter, but a cutter provides very consistent results each time after the learning curve I would think.

I've had success with small diameter polishing bobs with 1/8" shanks. You can buy assortments from Amazon for cheap. I made a mandrel to hold them and use polishing compound.
