Turning thin rod with accuracy

When turning small things (1/8 to 1/16") I use two fingers to act as a steady rest. I used to play guitar so I have calluses on my fingers so the slightly rough texture doesn't bother me. I know this is dangerous, but it works in a pinch :biggrin:

It's a tool used in production screw machine for turning to a diameter. A follow rest and turning tool all in one. There is a through hole in the shank for work to pass through.
