I know somewhere I've seen the suggestion of either purchasing or making a long tool rest (12-24" or more) if you plan to frequently turn spindles. I can't for the life of me though find the source, or find suggestions for building a rest. It makes sense to me to have a long rest so you don't have to stop and keep moving it when turning chair legs. Why is it I can't seem to find anyone that makes these? It seems I may have to make something myself.
