After doing this three times for one long object and I too wold like
to know a better way. But I was doing long rods, and not chair legs,
so one ssteady rest wasn't working.


Use the bodgers' rest. you can make up three or four, pre-position, and
install the wedge once the area is round. Can't be whipping that spindle at
2500 rpm, though.


Thanks. I'll have to do this next time!
