Hi all. Was perusing the turning stuff at my local Woodcraft and something just happened to catch my eye on the Woodcraft tool rests. There now appears to be a wedge of acrylic applied to the inside "L" section. Many will recall the warnings about using "L"/angle iron rests and the possibility of smashed fingers. Lyn had mentioned he'd made his concerns known to the powers-that be at Woodcraft. Last I read on this subject from him (maybe 4-6 months ago), he sounded a bit annoyed they hadn't changed the design.
Here's to you, Lyn Mangiameli, making the turning world safer one step at a time. ;)
