I'll do the same thing with the long bit, drill from both ends until the holes meet. The main thing to watch when you mount the plug on the lathe is that the place you want the hole to start should...

3: once the bit is in as far as it will go, turn off lathe and remove plug from the drill bit. Flip plug over and drill from the tail of the plug:

2. Make sure the drill bit is secure in the plug, then turn the lathe on and slowly crank the handle to move the drill into the plug. Note, the plug is turning, the drill bit is stationary:
