Nice job cleaning up those drums. Reminds me I need to do mine. Tried doing the rear drums earlier but only had chatter because I clamed on the welded on sheet metal hub. Need to make a sturdy flange to clamp the piece properly instead of trying to work with the 3 jaw.
I'm going to preface by saying I've never used a 3-jaw lathe, so my suggestion may be useless.

What if you took apart an old front wheel bearing from an early 2000s GM truck? If you use just the hub and bolt the drum on it backwards, would that be enough to clamp onto?
