I like the look of this one, simple and effective

Platform Sharpening with The Robo Rest by Reed Gray aka robo hippy - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ7w6yFhw4c)

[RETIRED]

Been looking at that since Reed out it up. Velly intelisting.

A great post Neil. Thank you

All I need is a couple of CBN wheels like him - no I won't be greedy, just one would do and the rest looks dead easy to make for someone like you. Maybe another Hughie special on the way.

I like its simplicity and have often thought about a large flat tool rest, although I'd have to make one out of timber.

Cheers,
Paul

Apologies to the moderators,

I had fun making it, and think I got the simple and efficient part down fairly well. That keeps it cheap. I don't think shipping way down there would be practical. If some one is interested in making them there, you would need CNC laser and break/bending tools. You can PM me.

Trying to convert the woodturning world back to free hand turning, one turner at a time...... I blame it all on Stuart and Allen Batty when I took a 3 day workshop with them several years back.

robo hippy,

I really like the simplicity of the design and practical way of adjustment, all in all a good tool. I'm tempted to build something similar for myself down the track.

I bought 1 of Reeds Robo rests. I've been using it for the last week. :2tsup: I really like it. He's got a great product and it was worth every penny.

[tdrumnut]

If anyone is thinking of making these I would be interested in purchasing one or two

cheers Rumnut
