I had the same problem with the 2 small disks, I now just use a forstner bit to make the holes and then turn the disks on the lathe with a very small taper and make them slightly taller than the depth of the hole, so it is being wedged into the hole. Thank you for the acknowledgment it is very much appreciated. Keep in touch with your projects, and good luck with your next Yin & Yang.
Cheers

Well you have done more than me Andy as I have not been in the workshop for just over a month due to being laid up but now spending 10 to 20 minutes in there now hoping to increase that.

Yebbut.....
......at no stage did you ask me to draw it for you. I could have sent you PDF's to print and stick on, at full size, which would have solved the problem without buying a template. Seconds of a job, literally.

There are a couple pics on the web using the same design for T-light candles, 2 separate pieces.

The accuracy of the 'join' or gap is not that serious.

Thanks Phil. I has seen those two piece items but where is the challenge in that.

I would wager it is not possible to fabricate and glue those two halves together without starting with a perfectly matched template.
