All I do is turn my own No. 2 morse tapers for my head stock out of maple(the only wood that seems to work well) I turn a few at a time then cut them apart jam each one into the head stock and return it round and true the flat ens of the taper to except the block I glue to it with regular carpenters glue. I then jam it back in to the head stock and turn away. I'm really just figuring this out so it takes a little playing with to get used to it. I'll post some pics of a few new minis I've done. Oh thanks everyone for the kind words always nice to know someone like the things you do. Bye, LandfillLumber
