I started building my own carbon shafts once I found a carbon tube that I really liked. But one of the shafts are coming loose after a little bit of play time. Does anybody have any tips or tricks to maybe add some resistance or whatever the word is I'm sure y'all understand what I'm saying, to...

I attempted my first taper pass and forgot a large piece of math which made it comical, glad I got a video of it. Forget about that, where should my rounter bit be? I positioned the blades on the cross slide to barley brush the material to start. Am I wrong? I'm sure there's better ways. But, im...
