Thx
Both ends to be joined are machined drop dead perfect flat,blind 1/4in hole is bored dead center in each piece about 3/8s deep.
one piece remains centered in the chuck,liberal amounts of epoxy are applied.
Both pces are clamped overnight using the tailstock with a live center.
The blind hole forms a solid epoxy dowel of sorts,you can see no glue lines on my two part handles.
Dude, that is beautiful and thanx for the explanation of the 2 part how-to
