I've really got to get turning ... and better yet, hollowing!:gar-La;
This is a bit of a gloat, but also a little bragging about my neighbor Wesley and his capabilities...
This is the second design for a steady rest that he's put together. This one uses a four-post design, tool-less arm adjusters, and a replaceable lathe bed gap sizer. This one isn't powder coated like the first, but that will probably happen next.
He also made this hollowing setup modeled after a common one on the market. A little beefier than the market setup though, and a few changes to like an adjustable height for other lathes and stainless steel rods. I've yet to use it though... I've first got to learn how!
