Good stuff. That is a very handy tool. Thanks for sharing this. And here I thought my little 9” 110v South Bend was small. You do good work on that little thing.
That was awesome! Very relaxing to watch. And thanks for showing off the final product at the beginning, I absolutely would not have know what that was otherwise.
Off to the shop to make one! If you angled the back legs out a bit wouldn't that slow the CG transition vs height a bit? At some point the overall length gets ridiculous, but...
Thanks. I have a few kettlebells, 16, 24 and 32 kg, the one in the video is the 32. I use them more in the winter when running and hiking are difficult. They're great for weight testing things since it's a known quantity and has the handle on top.

Your skills and tool-set is very impressive!
Great videos Scott! Doing some real engineering.
Fastcap sells this kind of tool since quite a while for miter saws. Anyway, nice to see it made of metal
Nice, thanks for the idea, Scott.
That sir, is a piece of art. Lovely
Very cool, I'm going to have to make one for myself :)
Oh very nice! I love the using the previous project to build this project :D Looks kinda steam train-ish, which I like :P

nice machining work
If you made it out of flat bar or RHS you could sit a weight on it moving it back and forth to where you wanted the downward force .
very great idea .
Good 👍
do you have a video about that halo-thing that supported the steel ?
I made the steady rest in a hurry so there wasn't a video.
Very nice! (What'd you name 'er?)
Nice video as always. I noticed you have a kettlebell. Do you use it? and how much does it weigh?
I bet this kettlebell is for next lathe experiments)

+Scott Rumschlag 32kg... wow thats a pretty huge one. you must be ripped :D
Nice! :)
I like the idea, but everytime someone gets the lathe out, i move on. Not many people have a lathe.
HAhahahahaHA. "zzzztt". :)
