The new technique used a special four-position trunnion for the tailstock end

The trunnion is made of thick ply. It has a 22mm square hole and a 6mm bolt

The blank is 75mm square with a 22mm square tenon at one end

The trunnion fits tightly on the tenon and is secured by the bolt

The live Stebcentre tailstock fits into a 22mm shallow hole in the trunnion

At the headstock end, the four offset centres are only 10mm out
