I am getting ready to make some very ornate spindle turnings. I plan to make each in 3 parts and am curious what would be the best way to put them together? I would imagine turning a dowel end on one and drill a center hole on the other?
When turning I like to leave a wage stub on each end. If I didn’t have the stubs, I could drill each end before turning and use a dowel. I find it quite difficult to find dead center on a round turning. Any suggestions would be helpful.
