I'm glad you think so, to me it is not my best work. I would have like to have spent more time on the finnish, but Lee insisted that he was going to beat the crap out of them and a rougher surface would be fine. I just didnt have the time to finish them the way i would have liked to.

I've got a friend like you, no matter how nice a piece looks he's not happy with it...
Ok...it's Tuesday.....

That's just a 1 inch post correct?
Oh I might have an idea.
I was stupid. Had the tool on the very end of the rest, got a catch. Not a 1", it's a 5/8".
Smooth move ex-lax! 
Tony, that the 12" long rest? I may have an extra one kicking around here with a 5/8" post. If I do, I'd be happy to send it your way.

I broke a 14" long tool rest with 1" shaft many years ago. That learned me to not do heavy roughing cuts on the end of the tool rest
After I did it I knew exactly why it happened, hopefully I won't be that stupid again. Just wasn't thinking right.

How long is that rest?
I managed to break a 6" rest that way. About needed to change my shorts when that happened!
@Tony - I checked. It's not 12", but is 10". It's yours if you want it, though I wouldn't blame you either if you passed and sought out something better constructed. This is the one that came with my Jet 1221VS. I've never used it and don't plan to as I really like these ones from Rockler. They're better constructed, stronger, and stand up better.
Figures that yours is 2 inches shorter than mine!
Actually that works out better. I have a 4" and I (had) a 12", a 10" would give me a happier medium. I'll happily take it off your hands if you don't need it Matt.
