I have a 12" Logan 2537 turret lathe. I don't have a steady rest for it, and I have a need for one. I have found expensive examples on Ebay, and honestly don't want to pay that much if I can help it. My thought is to find one from another lathe that would fit, or make my own.
So, 2 questions;
1.) what other brands of steady rests will fit on a Logan 12"?
2.) what options do I have for building one from scratch? Does it have to be steel? Is aluminum Ok? Maybe a silly question, what about making one out of wood?
Basically I'm looking for ideas.
