A couple of weeks ago, I made a replacement handle for the back gears, with the intention of prettying it up when I got the chance. I used the ball turner on the Hercus lathe to turn the ball on the end, then transferred to the big lathe to turn the taper. I set the compound to 2* and used the new tangential toolholder to cut most of the taper.
The finished taper.
Before.
After.
