Bob, just noticed your problem with glue in the tube etc find a close fitting drill recess into a handle so that the drill protuding is less than the length of the tube and use it from either end of the blank this might sound anal but at least it cures that problem. The idea of shorter than the tube it saves reaming your other hand when you clean out a lot of commercial units are longer and take a section of hand the first time you forget.

Kind regards Peter.
