I have a metal lathe and want to turn wood on it, so far I am turning the wood like it is metal. I am looking for a tool rest for my metal lathe so I can use wood lathe tools. The lathe is an atlas lathe from approx. 1930's, Any ideas?
 
If you have a quick change tool post, you can just mount a round bar in one of the holders. I typically use one of the Harbor Freight transfer puches because they are handy, but any bar will do.
