Adam Savage’s Lathe Build Fail

Adam literally spins his wheels on today's build, an attempt to adapt the morse #2 taper of a sensitive drilling rig to the morse #4 taper of his full-sized lathe tailstock. Yes, taper adapters exist, but Adam tries his hand at manually making one by drilling out the end of larger taper with a soft steel end. And much elbow grease is spent demonstrating that yes, failure is always an option.
