I really don't use steady rests as much as I should.. seems like they're in the
my way a lot... gets to be a problem with goblets and glasses..

Great idea in the Winter AAW magazine in the tips section and I tried it this
morning:

After hollowing and sanding the inside of the bowl, I put a tennis ball in the
bottom of the bowl and brought the tail stock up to it with a cup center on it..
Works GREAT!
Why didn't I know about this a couple of years ago, or at least a couple of
weeks ago when I started the "goblets from hell" for a client?
