Steady Rest for a 10" lathe

Hi Mac

I can weld, just come by and I will do it for you, ;-))

But seriously, I think you should be able to insert a fitting block inside your lower square tube and drill and tap that, some locktite and a nut underneath and you would be able to use the full lenght that way.

How is the new place coming along Mac ??

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

Kind of a long trip, Leo.. and not to my kind of weather!

I have to look at the page again, but I was also thinking about using solid stock instead of the square tube.. then just drill and tap it..

Pretty close to finished... the windows went in last week and the doors are just about done... We're going down tomorrow to give the builder more money (stage 5 or whatever) and pick up our visa.... moving truck from Baja will be here on Oct. 12th!

I'll try to get some new pictures on the page up, or maybe on the new page... ( davisbaja.com & bajawoodcraft.com)
