& give a description.
The hoop is 2 layers of 3/4" baltic birch ply. The Arms are 2" wide 3/8" thick steel. the Base is 2" angle iron. The quick action locking handles are steel. The wheels are skate board wheels (turned down to size ) with high speed percision bearings. Painted with Semi-gloss Black & Powermatic Gold paint.

Looks like you did a really nice job on building the steady rest! Looking forward to seeing some of your hollow forms real soon!
