It all sizes up reasonably well but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. This is designed to work as a single or double part mandrel for turning between centres.
It fits together so snug with no play or flex it must work, over to the wood turning lathe with the first piece of wood I can grasp and set about drilling the blanks. Time up I'll have to continue this elsewhere or come back tomorrow.

Managed to get some time to get into the village and use Ozvaldo's treadle lathe and turned this pen with my new setup and I have to say I am impressed with it, I used it with one piece and I used it with two pieces and both work equally well no quibble, wobble, stress or strain.
