Outboard tail center; useful? useless? impractical? impossible?
I like to keep a supportive center post or an extendable narrow tail
spindle as long as possible when turning tall vessels, but I also like to hollow them with the headstock swivelled. Is it feasible to have both? If so, have any of you thought about or cobbled up a tail center that's outboarded from the tailstock or lathe bed to support a swivelled blank? Perhaps a fixed #2MT on some sort of adjustable shaft with the same curve as the rotating headstock or an adjustable MT on a straight shaft? Any ideas or suggestions? If not, I'll go quietly.
