Step 3The Tail Section
Start with the 1" piece of 1/2" dowel. Smooth it out with sandpaper.
Then drill a 1/4" hole into one end - hold the dowel firm by clamping it in a vice. Try and get it centered. It needs to be no more than about 1/2" deep - enough to seat the thinner dowel when they are glued together.
Flip it over and re-fasten the clamp. Cut a slit into the other end using a fine saw blade. The ring from the glass ball will seat into the slit in the dowel and be bonded with epoxy.
