thank you for the link. won't work for this particular fix.(hard to explain) maybe i'll post some pictures. but i love the stuff he makes. i think i will be talking to him soon. i love those round bar tool rests. mine are that sharp factory type with a couple small groves in it from the factory. think i might upgrade that part. thanks again.

i love this place.

Congrats. I know it feels good to get back in when you have been out for so long.
