Anyone with a lathe in North Raleigh?

Would love a small favor from someone. I've had to cut down an aluminum pole into two pieces to shorten it and I'm now looking to splice it back together. I'm looking for someone to turn a 5-6" long wooden cylinder (approximately 2 3/16 diameter) that I can epoxy in the pole to join both pieces. Happy to pay a fee for your time.

Additional details are in this previous thread - I wasn't able to get the post shortened and re-threaded so I'm cutting it down and then splice back together as was suggested here on NCWW. https://ncwoodworker.net/forums/ind...ere-i-can-have-threads-cut.69696/#post-648402

If anyone is able to do this for me in the N. Raleigh area, please let me know and I'll bring the post over. It should be simple as there is no taper and even the length is flexible.

FYI. If you can locate a section of 2 inch EMT electrical conduit, it has an OD of 2.197 inch which is only several thousandths over 2-3/16. Might fit.

I can do that for you. I have walnut or solid plastic, your choice

Thanks Phil. Are you around tomorrow at all? Or is next week better? (I’m gone 2pm tomorrow through Monday). Anything that I can epoxy in place would be great. I was even thinking of glueing up a couple 2x4s

I will be home after 2 or 3 pm. I will turn it this weekend and have it ready for you when you return
