Here you go Mr. Rupert.
I made it by chopping a piece of 1" aluminum bar stock in half, machined out the joint and did some drilling & tapping for the bolts. I hacked off 2 4" pieces of t-track and clamped the lower one to the 1SM with a c-clamp.
The upper t-track allows for adjusting the distance of the rest from the belt, as that changes when the angle of the rest is changed. I use that all the time, so it's handy to have wing nuts so no wrench is needed. Fast and simple.
The rest itself is 1" x 2" that I cut off of a 1" x 3' piece thermoplastic of some kind that I picked up at a local Alro outlet.
It's fully adjustable so that the rest can even be 90 degrees to the belt if you wish.
I like the rest to be the same width as the belt so that you can get a knife blade right up to the handle.
It works great!
Any questions, just let me know!
