Woodworking: How to Make a Steady Rest

I have been wanting to build a steady rest for a while now. I had tried before, but it just never worked out. Now that I have my CNC, I felt it would be easier to design it in VCarve and let the CNC do the hard work. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I look forward to using it.

I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you’d like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

I have both the plans and steady rest for sale on my website!
