Learn from it and scrap it.

Great advice Rob!

Well that's unanimous.  It's scrap.  Thanks for all the comments.

However there was lots of useful practice in thread cutting etc.  In fact I was really pleased how the threads came out. (Thank you Rob for noticing).

As far as the taper goes I was relying on the computer to get the angle right for me.  I did test it with an empty collet held lightly but next time I will use one with something in it.

I'll do it again.  Looking on the bright side - with all that practice and the tools already ground it should be much quicker. :lol:

First though I need to fix the lathe switch.  :zap:

Thanks for the tips on testing. I am about to embark on making some of these and the tips have come just in time.
