Toolrest
made from recycled bed rail (hardened steel) and a 1 inch rod. The hole
was there so really serves no purpose. This toolrest is about 8 inches
long. This toolrest is very convenient and since the steel is hardened it does not dent along the top edge.
Bowl
toolrest made from 1/2 by 2 inch steelbar and a 1 inch rod notched to
accept the bar. The bar was bent using a 12 ton jack and appropriate supports. This toolrest is designed to go inside a bowl and allows the bowl to toolrest gap to be kept small.
