I was using my taper sled today and snapped a picture - it comes in very handy - especially when working with small parts:

taper sled

I routinely use an aluminum taper jig, but with much trepidation. I've tapered many legs with it, and though I've never had a bit of trouble doing it, it always raises the safety pucker factor.
I'll dig up my old ShopNotes ... thanks for the reminder!
I don't have a taper sled - never much liked the idea.
Who uses "a sled" and who (as I do) makes a fixed sled up for each job? If I'm tapering something, I'm usually either doing a one-off on the bandsaw, or I'm doing a batchful of a dozen where I might want to come back and make more in the future.
