    Steady rest

    My understanding was that new machines were/are still being manufactured in Canada and available for purchase. For example, here at Penn tool co. Also, that Leblond out of the US was handling service parts. https://leblondusa.com/standard-modern-lathes-s-m/ Your comments about eye-watering...

    Kitchen utensil prototype - help wanted

    That rim detail is going to be damn near impossible to prototype or manufacture cost-effectively unless you make it out of two pieces.
