Then he would have put a small "dimple" in the end so he could bring in a live center for support.
I suppose there's more than one way to make these. Me? I'd have made the threaded part a little longer than required and cut the threads while the stock was still in the lathe. Then, after the threads were cut, Id simply cut off the "extra" material on the end to spec.
Pull out the stock, turn it around and cut the head to spec. Pretty easy.
Milling that square indent in the head would have been only slightly more difficult. I'd have done that prior to any lathe work.
