I have an old Delta lathe that I have restored and have used for some segmented bowls and spindles. I recently came into some bowl blanks of walnut, cherry, birch, and locust. These all came to me for the best price (free), but they are 10, 12, and 18 inches. I have an outboard face plate, and have already rigged the lathe with a jackshaft to get the speed down to about 300, so the only thing I need to turn some of these is a tool rest.
I'm looking for ideas (photos) for building an outboard tool rest. I figurerd this is the best place to ask, so does anybody have any pictures of their outboard tool rest to post for us to see?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
