I need to make a few magic wands. They are to be 15" long, about 3/8" OD of maple dowel with about 1.5" of 3/8" brass rod at each end. My question is how to attach the brass end pieces to the dowel. I thought of using metal epoxy and butt joining them or drilling a small hole in each piece, inserting a metal or wood dowel and epoxy. The problem with the second method is getting both holes in exactly the centre of the pieces. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks JG
ps- If only I had a working magic wand this would not be a problem
