Gnaw - just right - the stem sticks out the head side into multiple centered holders.
Then it is slip back roll down and roll down another... :-)

Just teasing - but outboard holders are common in long things - like barrels....

Very true, and in fact, I know of one such setup here in Taft. I can
also see where the stem started to whip, once upon a time as the
holders were smashed and repaired at least once..and the Rockford
lathe has multiple pods of repair concrete under the feet where the
hold downs were jerked out.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
