Drilled the two 'leg' pieces on the 1st Stabilier. Used the vertical Millier, just for ease, a piller drill would of been just as good if I'd of had the time.
I drilled to a suitable depth and test fitted the central knurled piece. It's ends needed to be shortened, which I had allowed for. So onto the lathe..... But during turning the ends shorter, I tried to take to much off as it pulled the knurled piece out of the chuck :-( aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Luckily it wasn't damaged to much :-S and managed to salvage it enough for it to be used still..... phew!
Next time I'll machine the knurled part stubs shorter and make the holes deeper, the glue [if needed] will keep it all in place.
