This project was inspired because of cost and I had some steel around. The steady rest started by measuring distance to the spindle from the top of the bed, I used a 1/2 x4x6 hot rolled steel, rough it out drilled and filed the profile, pre drilled keyway holes and pivot hole als cut it in half and pre milled top and bottom.
