I've been scrolling through a bunch of threads trying to figure out if the Robo rest was ever actually produced by the new owner. Did they actually have them at the 2022 symposium? Was the new owner revealed? Can I buy one?

Whats this?? you retiring Reed??
I'm sure you don't, but you don't have any still do you?
I did retire from production turning, and selling the tools. It was just taking up too much time. Robust did make an S curved bowl rest. 2 sizes, and they were at the last AAW Symposium. I am trying to learn Japanese/Asian joinery, and getting back into furniture making.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Cool! sounds fun.
I still do one show a year, so I will continue turning, and I have a bunch of new videos I need to do...... Like my dad, who at age 100, still goes in to work, "I am not going to retire until my birth certificate expires."

What does your dad do?
@robo hippy, Reed, I just want to say how much I've learned from your videos. They are a real benefit to beginners like me.
My dad is an engineer. Family business is Gray Mfg. in St. Joseph, MO. He will never die from boredom..... I blame him for my 'if it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it any way' syndrome....
