The coupler was cut to 1 1/4" long. The original kit nose block was 1" long. I feel better having a longer, more stable sliding joint.
The BT-50 coupler was set down onto the basswood and the interior diameter traced with a sharp pencil.
The sides were sanded to a circle.
Both were glued cross grained.
A inside reinforcement bar was cut and glued to the top face.
A pilot hole was carefully drilled before the screw eye was turned into the basswood.
The bulkhead was glued into the coupler, recessed to allow for a glue fillet.
More glue was applied inside from the top using a Q-tip.
