Here’s my Lathe Steady Rest, based on a plan from Woodworkers’s Journal (WJ133).
Easy to build … just hope my grandson doesn’t go looking for his inline skates!

Great Job Gerry. I felt very intimidated about trying to make one. Now I’m just intimidated.

I saw one of these in Woodcraft just today when picking up some materials for a treasure chest for my daughter. Looks very useful and sturdy

Great looking steadyrest, and if your grandson needs his skates back, Rockler has the wheels for sale. Those
wheels do a great job of supporting the work without marring it.

Hello TheDane
Sorry for your grandson but this is a fantastic idea ( Another to be copied !!)
What is the diameter of the open center ?
A very nice idea
Thanks for sharing

Diggerjacks—The inside diameter is 10” ... the plywood is 12” wide by 12 1/4” high.
