Wood Lathe Steady Rest

admin

This is the 2nd project I did with my Miller 215, back a few months ago.  It  was made for the Wood Turners Club I am a member of.   They were having a professional turner as a guest demonstrator, and he was holding an all day seminar for a limited group who paid a fee for the education.   They needed this steady rest so they could use it with a couple of the clubs lathes so I gathered materials and went to work.  Welds were with .030 flux core wire.
