I've got all the bits and pieces lined up to make some rods now. What I have to work with is a lathe and a drill press with a cross slide vise.
I can also use a table saw as a dick sander .

Now, could someone please outline my order of operations.....a plan of attack?
I've never had to do any precision work before that had to have repeatable and predictable results, such as maintaining perfectly centered holes, working with home made bushings, etc.

This is the cast rod that I'll be duplicating.
