You can use a round tenon. Typically you would use a dividers or a simple gauge and turn the tenon until the dividers/gauge just slip over the tenon. Remove a little bit of wood at a time until it fits. Some folks will use an open end wrench as a gauge. Or you could make one from a scrap of plywood with a notch of the correct width cut in it.

Which 'netter had |

I remember seeing one that had the shade, but it was to keep protect the cabinet from the lathe spray/chips. I do think that may have been in Woodturning, so may not be the one you referenced...don't remember who had it.

Adjusting a vintage infill |

Jim, I have a number of infills, some with adjusters, most without. I don't try to hit anything to back out the iron, I loosen the clamp, then back out the iron with my hand, then slowly move it forward with taps from a brass hammer. If I go too far, I repeat the process. I have a few I bought with front bun problems, one was cracked, one was worn down a lot, and one had ridges, all clearly from being hit - so that kept me away from hitting the front bun. Some say that infills with adjusters have no real advantage over ones without, I say try to back out the iron a few thousands a few times, and see if you don't prefer the adjusters. I do have one plane without an adjuster that I made a snecked iron for - it is pretty easy to do, and that allows you to use a hammer to retract the iron slightly. BTW, I haven't seen one with a cracked body from using a hammer to adjust it, but if you hit the front bun or the rear handle with a hammer, or even a wooden mallet, I think that can end poorly over time. Hope you enjoy your infills, I love mine.
