Steady rest build.(on the lathe)

Another steady rest build, but this one is mine!
For the lathe, on the lathe,, by the lathe;)
A combination of lots of other steady rest builds I have seen, where I've taken the best ideas and attributes to create mine.
My biggest project so far.
The video was edited from over 7 hours of raw footage. over a few weeks with lots of problems, changes and work arounds.

Very nice work sir. I still need to make a steady rest. Well some day

Thank you! I looked into buying one but the ones for my lathe are Cheap and not very well made and when I looked up the dimensions, I found that it doesn't even line up with the centre line of my lathe. so the only way I could have one is, if i built it myself!

Very nice work indeed! I saw CEE using a steady rest and make a smooth section on the outside of an otherwise rough pipe like yours and then move the steady over to it to have the bearings run on a better surface. Seems like a good practice, so I pass it on. Best of success with future projects!

@@Calligraphybooster sure, the pipe was just for a test.
