Before I made any more attempts at taking on long shafts I wanted a way to really dial them in to the lathe rotation axis. A rear spider is used by many gunsmiths to do just this but they are often either bulky or installed on the work and butted against the spindle meaning that moving the work involves also moving the spider. I started thinking about what I wanted to do and how I wanted mine to work.
