    Default adaptation

    I had an old steady designed for my MC1100 and never quite got around to completing it. Just a little mod and now fits the bowl lathe. Its a little floppy at the moment, but it gets me out of trouble, will stiffen it up later.

    I have something like that nearly finished, just needs some welding.

    I had the welder out 3 weeks ago & forgot all about it, thanks for the reminder.

    Timber to throw in it while Hughie is busy building his next project?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Cool rig. Will be interested to see how you fix it The one I inherited from the old man doesn't have enough capacity for my bigger forms and I've been thinking of doing the same sort of thing.
