<p>Well folks, most know I had full knee replacement surgery.
Twice. First one, I woke up during the surgery and spotted a
monitor in front of me. I watched them saw, drill a tapered hole
in ME, smear cement over the implant and drive it into the tapered
hole. But I was so full of pain and tranquilizing medications I
did not give a hoot, I watched for a while then decided to go back
to sleep while they were pounding it into my leg. And that's the
truth. They gave me a DVD of the surgery but I could not watch
the whole thing. j<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Funny what ya run into in a woodturning
rag. The article author did an exploration and showed
examples of making wood Morse tapers. Any hardwood will
do. I’ve made a few, as some of you may have done. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A quick web search of Stephen A Morse,
a mechanic and the inventor of the metal Morse taper in
the late 1800’s I discovered this article on PubMed, dated
2013. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my professional work life in health
care and surgery, I never associated the “Morse” taper
with orthopedic surgery. Enjoy the article, if nothin
else to explore the Morse taper machine tooling to hip
replacement surgery. Some pics included if they are sent
by the server.<o:p></o:p></p>
