I ran into a small problem on the rod pics and should have them later =
this week.  But, I do have the taper to post.  First, a bit of =
background info:  the measurements are taken from a rod, not a blank, so =
I took more measurements because I couldn't always keep them on a =
consistent spacing.  I did NOT deduct anything for the varnish (which is =
glossy and like new, probably is about 0.003".  All spacings are from =
the small end of that particular rod section.  Since many ask about =
guide spacings, I'll give them at the end of this email.  In some cases =
a measurement was taken under a guide IF it was thought it could be done =
with any sort of accuracy and such measurements are noted.  These are =
flat-to-flat measurements of a hexagonal rod.

Anyway, here goes:
