drilling holes if you have a drill press no problem what ever size the rod is i drill in on forgrip---reelseat and lower handle

if not for your mini lathe you can buy a chuck that will fit in the motor end or where the burl end then make a v stand of metal that you can put in the hole that holds your lathe tools and then with the spur end push the wood rod handle into bit i use a spade bit rod blanks are usually 1/2 ' OR 3/8" kb hope that this is clear as mud. if i did not explain it well let me know and ill see if i can draw better that explain kb
