The pipe clamp is a neat idea! I thought I recognized the cane from when you posted the steady rest.

thnx everybody. Topa: He brought me a 9’ 3×3, and I only cut off the 36” that would fit in my lathe. I actually cut off 40”. I did use the 4” block on my “football-helmet” steady rest as the base. Lew: yup, dat’s da one.. :)

Roger, I really like that you laminated the poplar and walnut and included that knot. I know nothing of lathes/turning but it looks like ya done good here. I can’t believe all those HF clamps (and no shrapnel!) Mine exploded the first time I used them.

Very nice job. I always appreciate the tutorials as well.

Your profile picture is looking too serious though. Go back to the hammock.
