In an earlier post I managed to give an overview of the lathe steady that I built. That post can be found here. I made the lathe steady primarily because I make pepper grinders as a sort of recreational activity. The lathe steady worked a treat and I estimate that I sawed over $150 making one rather than buying one of similar size. I had bought the roller blade wheels on-line quite a while before I got around to making the lathe steady and I got quite a surprise when I started using it. The wheels have lights inside them so I get a light show when I am turning. You wouldn’t get that in a store bought steady
Here is a brief video
