George,
It also helps to bring up the tailstock until you have the nut roughed out.

Now that you mention that, Tony... you sparked a memory that a senior moment had
blocked..

When I'm gluing something to a scrap block, or in this case a dowel, I do it in
place... hold the block in the chuck or between centers and use the tail stock
as a clamp to keep pressure on the adhesive...
I've found that a bit of clamping gives me a little better feeling about even a
CA joint...
