   Tony, I don't know what all the options are, but I have seen some mighty convenient tool rests made fro hardwood shaped to suit the operator's specific needs-might be worth thinking on.
   On the other hand, if you find a tool rest that you like , but it has a post of diameter smaller than 11/8th then you could sleeve it, or bush the post if small enough.

   Thanks Phillip,

   I made the current round rest I have, but am looking for a rest that can be set a bit closer to the work!

   I've thought about making another rest from angle iron, or even making another round and milling the top flat to achieve a closer set point.  My problem is my time is very encumbered! 

   BTW, very beautiful planes!
