Anybody know where i can find plans for a do it yourself steady rest that will accomodate all sizes of turnings ? not sure how to find it on here....thanks Dan
No real plans other than a sketch, but here's one I made a couple years ago. The main frame is two layers of birch plywood glued together, and the base is some scrap jarrah I had. I don't have it any more...it went with my old lathe when I sold it.
Vaughn,
I got a new lathe for Christmas and I never touched one before. Could you please give me an idea of something I might be able to start with. Keeping in mind I only have a year or less to work with it. Thank you Vaughn, Joe
