hold tiny part

I need to make a pin .25" long by .096" diameter with a 0.109 by 0.117
head. It needs to be hard so I'll make it out of a 7/64 drill bit, the
size of the head.
What's a clever way to hold this in the lathe? it would be hard to
make soft jaws go down this small. I'm thinking some sort of
collapsible bushing that I'd drill.

How about drilling a hole in a piece of round stock with the 7/64 bit.
Then gluing the bit in the hole. Mount the piece of round stock in the
chuck and go to work.
