I make spinning tools for a lady who owns a sheep farm. They look like
a long slender top with a 3/32" drill rod shaft and a 1" diameter x
.100 thick brass flywheel to generate the needed inertia to keep it
spinning. These are for spinning cotton fibers.

Any suggestion on how to put these together would be greatly
appreciated. The bonding agent cannot be seen on the outside of the
piece. I also tried soldering but it did not look too good.
I would think that soft soldering would work perfectly, and is easily a
factor of ten stronger than any epoxy or loctite compound, so a soldered
connection will last forever in such service.
A factor of 2 would be closer. I suspect the reason that
Loctite didn't work was that there was no clearance between
the parts. Solder's not going to work any better under
those circumstances.
