Thanks All. Andy, I have a three jaw chuck, four jaw chuck, catchplate/faceplate + dog and the vertical milling attachment. Unfortunately, no extended way bars. I do have a Proxxon mini pillar drill too, so currently i'm thinking that the best bet is to hold the piece vertically and drill the hole downwards. Luckily, this is just cosmetic work but I guess if I'm going to end up working on pieces of this length more regularly, either the extended way bars + steady, or a larger lathe, is going to be required!

Thank you!
