New toolrest from Jeff Nicol

[Mike Minto]

Saw one of these on Jeff's lathe in a post here on the creek. He said he was making a batch up, so others here may have gotten theirs this week. 15" long, 6" tall (key for scale). Can't wait to scratch the paint.

Is that for reaching down inside a HF or vase? or ??
If Jeff made it, it must be stout. Good thing you got it before his current break I think he's taking.

Tim, yes, Jeff recommends it for deep hollowing. I get alot of vibration when I turn deep forms (which I only am able to do occasionally, hard to find big wood) with my tool waaayy off the rest. Feels real stout, yes - solid square cross section steel.
