Tungsten balling up.....

There is an easier way to put them together and it will look perfectly clean and will work for its intended use.

Drill the ends and tap them and then put a grade 8 set screw or bolt that you cut down, screw them together and your done!!

Using a lathe and a good center drill is recommended if you want perfect otherwise you can do it with a hand drill and a tap if your careful.

wow...I never even thought of that....too late now though!! I will get some pics up soon.
