Default How to make a tool rest?

I have aquired a craftsman 12" lathe that is very shiny and fixing to be
mounted to it's' new base. It was amde in 1974. The previous owner could not
find the tool rest holder or tool rest for it. It has the bracket that is
attached to the pipe.
I am looking to make the tool rest and holder to save a few dollers since my
layoff has left me short of spending cash.
Can someone point me in the direction in need to go to find advice on this.
I have googled myself to death and thougth someone here might have already
made their own and could offer advice.

Thanks
