Default Tool Rest Shape

Just a quick yes or no question here folks. This being bulb planting season
and wanting a garden dibber (no I do not know where last year's dibber went)
I turned one. Being the comfort loving person that I am, I put an oval
handle on it because I like the feel. With the interest there seems to be in
offset turning on the group these days, is it worth the time to folks for me
to do a video/picture page of a garden dibber with an oval handle?

God bless and safe turning

In addition to the buffing supplies I asked about a week or so ago,
another item has been added to my wish list. I have a Jet 12-36 and
it serves my current needs admirably. However I would like to change
the tool post and rest. Any opinions (boy, there's a question asking
for it!) about the shape of the tool rest? Round perhaps like a piece
of 1" round stock? Flat like a piece of angle iron? What works for
those of you that have had both? Pros and cons of both? Thanks for
the info.
