The proportions are odd, the legs look much smaller than i imagined them.

Also gotta fix the tearout, I'm thinking of just taking like an inch off the overall length when I round the tip, which will remove the tearout in the process

I also don't have a fucking clue how I'm gonna clamp them for the glue-up. I'm considering gluing one at a time and using rubber bands. i dunno, let me know if you've got a better idea

    Even if I were to use dowels, how would I go about getting the holes perfectly aligned, since the contacting surfaces are curved in all three axes?

    Drill the dowel holes in the legs first, place a pointed plug in the holes (several companies make these you can also make them your self with some rod and a grinder) then mark up your rocket to align your legs and press them into it leaving perfect location marks.

    There are then several different ways to go about drilling a square hole into a cylinder.
