I planning to replicate a brass cannon I made on our Makerspace Southbend lath on my 7x16 LMS Mini-Lathe. The 1.25" bass rod doesn't fit through the spindle hole. Dimensions aren't critical but I'd like to use best practices as I learn.
The cannon itself is 5" long. What's my best option, turning from centers, a steady rest, other? Thanks!
