John i drill mine on the lathe. Just put the blank in a chuck and drill all the way through. Then i'll put it on the mandrel. Usually i'll drill out a number of blanks at the same time. I know a lot of folks drill on a drill press, but mine is just a little bench top, and to me it's tons easier just to do every thing on the lathe. Seeing your, makes me want to go make some more as i still have a number of kits.I agree Stephen. I ordered a couple of the kits with the tubes so I will have them around. The next ones I plan on making all wood. A question for you. Do you turn yours on a mandrel? How do you drill out the tube? I guess that's a couple of questions.
