This is how I did mine.
Pressed the bar into the hex bar (the nut).
Drill a hole thro' the hex nut and the bar c/s the hole both sides.
Press a suitable pin thro' the hole then bash the crap out of it to fill the c/s.
File it finish with some emery cloth. (All 6 faces)
Place it in the lathe to true up the hex ends and a nice chamfer on the hex nut.
