Thread: toolrests and shed

Ok. You win you have the most tool rest for one lathe. It is just one lathe right?

For my lathe I have three tool rest of different sizes, I have lost the large one. I put it somewhere in the garage and can not locate it. I have been doing a cleanup of the piles of stuff(actual clean up not shifting from one pile to the other) and have not been able to find it. The only place I have not checked is in the house and I certainly have no desire to clean in there.

Feel free to drop off a few things in my shed

christos 90% of tool rests were for one lathe but I just bought 2 old teknatools and they fit so I have a few more longer ones but won't hang them!
Will be able to turn 2 metres long at home!

mrfez your abit to far away for me to race over and get a tool your storing for me! very kind gesture!

Hmmm.. more tool rests than it should be legal to own!!!

I do alot of spindles and balusters, and don't like moving the tool rest!

huummmfffff. A mere novice in the tool rest department.

Huh. Some people have a chuck for every set of jaws. You? You seem to have a rest for every tool...

I'd be waiting for the time when someone posts a lathe for every set of jaws, 'cept I believe that 's well on the way to winning that one hands down, too!

Someone's been busy!
That's way too neat, by the way.

He who dies with most tool rests wins.

can I borrow that one? bottom right?

Actually I just picked up some steel to make a longish one for myself - I'll need to grab another banjo sometime

... and probably a bed extension
