It's a spindle support, so that if you have a turning with a long, thin stem (a tall goblet for example) you don't get a lot of vibration and wobble at the end of it since it's only secured at one end.

Pic #1 is a Bowl steady. Oh good grief, you've been turning for over three years and you still haven't taken the frickin' training wheels off your lathe?!? :eek: :p
Is that really the kind of example you want to set for the newbies? :D :cool:

I'm taking three giants steps back and tying my second safety rope to my harness.

Well ya know Lee.....some of us are so well rounded? That we need training wheels on the lathe to help us have more stability while standing. :p :D
