Pipe Flange Follow Rest

I needed single point thread a fairly long acme lead screw, and to do that, I decided it would work better to make a follow rest (aka follower rest, aka travel rest, aka traveling steady) for my lathe. I was helping with another clean up day "down by the river" and came across a pipe flange that looked interesting. Scraptacular!
