DIY spindle steady rest for the wood lathe

[@HeathKnuckles_Tasty_Timber]

Nice build!! 👍 That'll come in handy!! Have a good weekend!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks Heath

[@coldblu357]

Absolutely awesome. Yours is the best instruction I’ve seen out of all the DIY vids. I have most the materials you’ve shown during the build. I can’t wait to get started on this & use it. Thankyou!👍🏼😃

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you my friend

[@KostasAnnikasDeftereos]

μπραβο ρε φιλε δεν ηξερα οτι ετοιμαζεις τετοιο θα σου εστελνα μαζι με το δεμα τρις ροδες που ειχα απο πατινη για να φτιαξω ενα τετοιο αλλα ποτε δεν βρηκα τον χρονο !!!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

χαχαχα, έλα ρε, που να το ξέρω!

[@HenryBertolucci]

aaaah, thank you, I finally found what I need here!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice to hear that

[@edkorsberg6441]

There must be a lot of friction on the rollers as they roll (or scrape) over the screw threads. I would think it would wear out quickly. But I do like this DYI idea

[@ekimmilc]

oh yes! very nice until the wheels. will be great with skate wheels w/bearings. my guess you already replaced them. but the design is good. gave me another video so watch before making my own.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Indeed I have changed them. Good luck on your build

[@Rouverius]

What about adding some skateboard bearings? Wouldn't they further reduce vibrations than the plain wood ones?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

yes it would. Perhaps I will replace them in future!

[@EpicWorkshop]

Very, very nice Dimitris, keep up the good work (as always) :D Cheers Moris

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you very much

[@TristanDare]

That's pretty darn cool! I'll have to try this out! :)

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks

[@bearshield7138]

thank you for showing this

[@antoniolombardo2174]

Hola te importaría darme las medidas de la luneta tengo un torno parecido al tuyo soy un aficionado del torneado soy de Zaragoza España muchas gracias estado viendo tus trabajos y son muy buenos muchas gracias y perdona las molestias

[@JimsonMakes]

Great build, i will get round to making one some day. All the best, Jim

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@rehorst180]

Cool build, I cant wait until my daughter outgrows her roller blades so I can reuse the wheels from that.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

lol, thanls

[@coldblu357]

Lol that’s funny. 😂

[@michaelhines1891]

Any dimensions for the piece of wood you started with please? My lathe has a 12 inch swing and looks similar to your lathe

[@louiscypher7090]

Looks good except for the wheels appear to be out of round.

[@eddiemilton3819]

Thats amazing. Great work! When I get my lathe I'm definitely gonna have to try that! Love the videos.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@FSWoodworking]

Ωραία δουλειά Δημήτρη. Πολύ βολικό για τον τόρνο. Σκέφτηκες να βάλεις ροδακια απο πατίνι αντι για τα ξύλινα; Σε ρωτάω γιατι ισως να ειχαν λιγοτερο τζογαρισμα καθως γυρνάνε.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Ναι, θα το κάνω στο μέλον. Ήθελα όμως να δείξω μια πολύ εύκολη και απλή λύση για το video.

[@Azreal357]

All this only to make better vampire hunting stakes.

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal, Nice Project :D Obrigado(thanks)

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@gpickmovies]

Best, most simple, and least expensive steady rest for my midi lathe I have seen to date! Thanks so much for sharing this information. Glen in Lufkin Texas. 👊👍🙏

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you my friend. Greetings from Greece.

[@58eltoro]

Excellent i,ll be making one of these for my lathe.

[@NotJustSawdust]

Shop made... always the preferable solution!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I agree

[@lasbrass]

Μπραβο φίλε.......ο καλός ο μάστορας φτιάχνει τα δικά του εργαλεία.........με οτι μέσα διαθέτει........πάντα υπάρχουν περιθώρια για βελτιώσεις, αλλά στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση δεν μας ενδιαφέρει........αξιολεπτομερέστατος για μια ακόμα φορά.........

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Ευχαριστώ Γιώργο

[@russellnentwich8745]

Those wheels will not last long man. Those bolt threads will eat them up pretty quickly. Other than that cool build.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

So far they work. But I will replace them with plastic ones at some point

[@willybee3056]

Good Job,, Do you have children? It sure would be fun to learn all of that as early as a child... :-) can I come to live with you??? lol

[@ScrapwoodCity]

lol

[@petersmith5199]

This is why I subscribe to your channel. Excellent.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks

[@cryophile]

Here I thought you had made a lathe from scrap wood. :/

[@ScrapwoodCity]

lol, but I have made DIY lathes in the past

[@MichaelLawing]

Great build - I definitely have this added to my to-do list now!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks, nice to hear that

[@lourencosantiago9779]

Hi! Very Nice job! Great idea! tks for Idea. Lourenço Brazil

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you, greetings from Greece

[@terrywinge2378]

Subscribed and saved, I will be coming back for reference when I build my own. Thank you for the video.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@tkzsfen]

i had an idea to share with you for so long and i always forget about it :D why don'y you make a tiny water or wind mill with a tiny mechanism. gears always evoke such sweet emotions in people!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool, perhaps in future

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Interesting! good job!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks man

[@subhenduc]

wheel size?

[@cobberpete1]

Nice job, I might have to make one for myself

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks it useful. Long thin stuff is really difficult to turn with out one.

[@manoloramirez6456]

Wow

[@leksey7870]

Great job!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks

[@ilariaiannibelli3834]

.

[@clrizzi]

Genius!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks, this thing is really common equipment for lathes, I just made my own DIY version

[@jivkopetrov7049]

Have you considered using polyurethane or bearings. Looks like the wooden rollers damage the wood you are spining.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

The wooden rollers don't damage the wood at all. But the rollers themselves won't last for long. In future I will eventually replace them from skate wheels or something similar.

[@hmelodesign]

Good project, but the wood rollers are off center, please fix it...

[@JosephLorentzen]

is that a copy of x, y, or x's design? Shame on you! Really does it matter? I appreciate seeing your approach to the build.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

It's a really common tool accessory for a lathe. I just made one instead of buying it! Plenty of different designs out there, I just made what seemed that would work for me and was easy to make! Thanks

[@ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣΣΤΡΑΓΓΑΣ]

όλο ανεβαίνεις επίπεδο μπράβο σου πολύ χρήσιμη συσκευή

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ

[@monkeybuilds161]

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

Πολύ έξυπνο !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Σε ευχαριστώ

[@edsomfreitas6581]

you are fantastic 👏👏👏👏

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thanks

[@amazingtype8087]

very nice job keep going

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@MarkMcCluney]

really nice vid mate, lots of enjoyable details. like that clamp for holding to the lathe bed, very neat. how do you think the home-made wheels will hold out? weren't you tempted to buy some rollerblade wheels?

[@cobberpete1]

My Thoughts also, now he has the working model, maybe go back and put the roller wheels on.

[@MarkMcCluney]

All the same it's a super job and all done without spending anything, okay, nuts and bolts. I wish I had Dimitris' energy!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks man. I hope in future I will replace the wooden wheels. But I wanted to come up with a quick and easy solution with minimum things needed. After all, this is not an everyday tool for me. So I hope I will get away with it for quite some time!

[@eddyyu7091]

Wonderful tool !

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@madvasya]

На 3:37 сначала подумал, что он точит елдак :D
