Wow - are you also a welder, Alfredo? You're a man of many talents.
What did you use for the wheels?

Thanks Mike.
I bought a pair of used roller stake shoes,
took wheels off and used with this steady rest.
BTW you made a nice set of chisel handels with beatiful wood.

Alfredo thats the strongest looking Steady Rest I've ever seen, thanks for showing the pic, I have already posted about plans for making one. That one should hold anything.

That is one honkin' massive steady rest.
If it don't do the job, nothing will.
Great project.

Well done Alfredo, and........... how does it work?

Now you've done it...You have any idea how many kids around this forum are going to be skating on one skate because dad 'had' to make a steady rest??? 
Great job Alfredo, looks sturdy.

It is working well when I am doing some spindle turning.
It is time to test it with some hollowing turning.
I am looking for pictures or links of
hollowing systems. I have found Stu's shop made hollowing
system but I am open for new ideas.
Many thanks in advance.

It has a screw and perhaps thumb screws would
be and interesting improvement.
