After the glue is allowed to sit all night, it’s time to “square up” the  blank. The tool you see in the top photo is used for this. The thin  part towards the bottom is inserted into the brass tube. The thicker  part is then turned in the drill and cuts the wood square to the brass  tube. This is why the wood blank was cut to a 1/16” longer than the  brass tube. In the photo below, you can see the cutting portion riding  on the blank.Wednesday, March 3, 2010
