Step 4: Drill some holes and connect barrels

Here we join the two halves.

Position barrel halves with 9" overlap and tape using duct tape to hold.

Tape a flange spacer into place.

Drill at least four quarter inch holes through the barrels using the flange spacer as your guide.

Put in some 1/4" nuts and bolts to hold the barrels more firmly.

Drill large hole through barrels using the flange spacer as your guide (use a 4 1/2 " hole saw, coping saw, or rotozip).
