I'm a madman and drill them out after turning. I use an electric handheld drill and roll the blank along the edge of the workbench as I drill to try and keep it centered along the same lines as drilling with the lathe. I go from both ends and have managed so far to keep from drilling my hand. It works and is crude but I take my time. I only ruin 1 out of 10 only because of rushing. sometimes they can be fixed or I just give it to BM, he takes anything that dumpster diver
