Thanks to Joe T, Keith B, Jim K, and Travis S for all the design and measurements, I'm getting a few tools done. Travis had given me a little D handle, so I made a few to pass on his generosity.
In the middle is an octagon steady rest... I still need to get the wheels. Then there are four D handles and two tool rests for minis, and two more D handles and tool rests for bigger lathes. I still have to prime and paint them, but I am happy to be this far. I've welded a few things before when I needed to glob some metal together, so this has been a real challenge.
No, I'm not using them all. One of the big ones is sort of a bomb, but I had to tell the guy because he was talking about buying one. I'm keeping one little one, one big one, and the steady.
