Unknown Steady Rest adaptations for the LeBlond lathe

In this episode I'll be working on the adaptation of an unknown steady rest that I recently acquired through an auction. Steady rests for LeBlond Regals are really hard to come by and when you find one the price is astronomical!
When I saw this cheap small steady rest for sale for a very good price I didn't think twice and went ahead with the purchase.
If anybody knows what machine this steady rest was originally it would be great to know
The final result seems very good to me, I really needed a steady rest in order to finish machining a project I'm working on right now and the timing could not be better.
Hope you enjoy the footage!
