Well done Bill,
Thanks for sharing.

A bit like dropping a 454 big block into a Ford Pinto isn't it?
And people accuse me of over-engineering things at times!
Just kidding....
That is a seriously heavy duty steady though. Great job Bill! I think the black and brass really set it off. Looks classy.

Willie,
why would rune a perfectly good Pinto?

Good job on the build and the thread Bill.
Most steady rests aren't nearly that large in diameter. What is the capacity of yours?

Been gone for a day or two Tom. Capacity of this rest is .195 to 3.740. This is large for a 9X20. I had to get it to fit a 3.125 Cat head.
