It has been a while since I started this project. This is my first project log entry for this project. Unfortunately, the progress was slow. But now, the project is close to be completed. There is just one custom piece missing which is not very complicated to produce. 

At the current stage, I finished producing the steady rest itself as seen in the following images (video is coming soon).

Furthermore, I finished milling the three jaws and preassembled them to the steady rest.

Soon a short video series will be available to show the production process.
