    I recently purchased the complete Sorby modular toolrest system. While I like it once assembled (and I just knew this would be the case) it is a pain to take a crossbar off, screw in another, have it work loose, tighten it, yada yada yada. I'll probably keep the curved rests, epoxy them into the stems and get a different straight rest. FYI.

    As said everyone is different. My favorites are cheap ones I made out of 2"x2" 1/4" angle with a 1"post. made three lenghts for $20. drilled and tapped then added jb weld for extra support and they work great. I like them because I can place my fingers up against the rest to hold the tool for fine detail.
