So I wanted to make a push button for my wooden ebrake handle.
took a 11/16 bit to drill the hole for the ebrake to slip on

got a slighter larger rod then the 5/8's

Cut it down to the size I would need for the botton to work, this may take a couple of tries to get perfect. so cut it long and trim down

Used my dremel to cut the rod to shop, but it always leaves burn markes
20140218_131805 by marley4us1985, on Flickr
Sanded the burn markes out, and smoothed the edges

Use a wood screw in the end of the dowel, and cut the head off. I tried a nail at first and it slips off too easy, sorry the pic should have been with the wood screw

Clamped it to the drill!!

Sand down the tip of the dowel so you can slid it through your 5/8 hole, but the bigger portion of dowel stops if from falling out
