Hey, good evening. First post. Just a thought on arm rests – I started with a piece of cardboard as my arm rest initially, knowing I’d find something better later. As the cardboard began to get squished and beat up and started showing the swarf contamination, I began to see that I would need a new rest that did not hold swarf and grime and whatnot. It needed to be a relatively soft but narrow rest.
Enter the three ring binder… I cut about 3″ off the end of a black vinyl binder and then stuck it on to the back of the base with Elmers spray adhesive. The width was already perfect. Clean and simple, doesn’t hold anything that could contaminate strops if I accidentally lay them down with leather/balsa/linen touching the vinyl. Pretty much works perfect, and easy to find a color to your liking.
