Welcome to the site
Everyone seems to have their own process as to how they wind up with a thru drilled blank. I tried the drill press, did not like it. I started out using a handheld power drill with a long 1/8" bit drill from each end while holding the turned blank in my hand occasionally letting the blank spin in my hand to maintain keeping it centered, it works but sometimes it wanders. Now I drill on the lathe using a chuck on the lathe and an 1/8" bit going from each end until they connect
