This is becoming a never ending Vortex----Help I have fallen and can't see the bottom.
Always wanted to own a freestanding tool rest so I had one built.
This thing wieghs in at 175 lbs----shound not walk around---hopefully.
I should of bought some mustard paint for my machinest at this rate I might just paint the lathe to match all the extra's.

Gary, the least they could have done would be to build the thing straight up instead of tilted like that!:D Seriously, nice tool rest. I need to break down and do the same some day.

Much prettier than mine Gary.

Mine is just a wheel rim with 3 nuts welded in a triangular arraignment along the bottom edge with bolts to adjust for floor unevenness. One pipe slides up & down & is clamped in place while the banjo is fastened on top. Works like a champ. Maybe I need to give it a coat of blue paint so it will be pretty too.:eek: :D Cost about $5.
