I have wanted a steady rest for some time but some exceed $300! Here are some pictures and links to different rests that I could find from this forum. I really like the 3 wheel one Jeremy Williams has but I think that is one of the $300 rests and for some reason, I can't find his web site. I also really like the 4 wheel one by Wooden Nicol which is about $16o for a 16" lathe. I am posting links/pictures for all to see for those inclinded to make their own or to make their own purchase. (Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of those who are selling their rests or charging them for my time and work here with this "advertisement"!)

Of course, you can view the One Way version at their web site. If any of you have others to share, that would be great.
