Hi there "other" Leo

To late now!!! G (to take it all back)



How about a picture Leo, I would like to see how you made yours, there
are some questions in my mind about the rigid' that has to be there, I
have the steady rest that came with my lathe but it is only able to get
around approx. 5"D, I had in mind to use something like 3" angle for the
frame, hexagon in shape and sliding rods through a pipe like setup, also
would use 4 wheels rather than three, as I look at wood warp the way it
does, 4 wheels would work better I imagined, what is your experience
with that Leo ??
I had also questions on how I was going to keep the wheels running at 90
degrees to the wood's turning axis in a simple way, you would only have
to square your frame and all the wheels would run perpendicular, quick
and simple, I like that in a way.


Have fun and take care

Leo, the other, I'll bet you're right. So, I take it all back.
