Abstract: A home workshop wood lathe mounted on a flat bed includes a pair of elongated members having horizontal surfaces which extend along opposite sides of and slightly above the lathe ways and are spaced to permit a tail stock to slide along the ways. Brackets for mounting a template or turned article to be duplicated are adjustable along the elongated members. A tool holder having a long flat base spanning the spaced horizontal surfaces is freely slidable thereon. An upstanding tool post near one end of the long base, a pair of upstanding follower pins spaced longitudinally on opposite sides of and closely adjacent the tool post, and a pair of handles arranged for selective attachment to the base on one side or the other of the tool post adapt the tool holder to axial or face plate turning operations and a conveniently detachable plate overlying the spaced horizontal surfaces provides a continuous surface when face plate turning.

Abstract: A rest for a hand held wood turning tool which facilitates the forming of concave and convex surfaces has a horizontal rest bar comprising two joined and oppositely curving arcuate portions of different curvature in the general form of a letter "S," with a bevelled tool rest surface extending continuously along one side thereof and an intermediately positioned downwardly extending cylindrical mounting post. A simplified modification has a single horizontal arcuate rest bar with bevelled tool rest surfaces extending along both sides.
