Well I will say welcome back. When you have a chance take some pictures and show us what you are doing.

I just had another thought. You could get a 4-jaw insert-style scroll chuck such as the Super Nova 2 that I have and a 5/8" straight shaft insert. Then you make a disk with OD to fit the chuck jaws and a concentric #2 Morse taper bored into it. Then you can use any MT2 tool in it. Amazon has a roughing and finishing reamer set for under $30.
I suspect the chuck will be more useful by itself.

This is not a cheap hobby, is it? Wow... lol... I'm going to have to hold off on that one for a minute. Thank you, though

The simple solution that worked well for ShopSmith owners for many decades is a $30 spur drive, then learn to turn while holding the work between centers. Remember: If you can hold it, you can turn it. This hobby doesn't have to be expensive.
