Made some Steady Rests

With my quest to do bigger hollow forms, came the realization that my bowl steady was just not sufficient for work larger than 10 or 12". So, with the help of my friend Derek, we made some steady rests. The big one is 24", the one in the middle is 20" for a PM3520 and the lil guy is 16" for a Jet 1642. It was really nice to do something different and out of the norm for me. These should work like a champion and allow me to do much, much bigger work.

Thanks for looking guys.

Roger

actuly thats not a bad idea how much did it cost you and how much would you sell them for. if you figure out how much it would cost for one that would fit on a delta 46-460 i might buy one since i have been playing with a idea of making a project that it very long and thin as a carved art piece.
