My version of a Lathe Steady made from 1/2" baltic birch plywood, 2" office chair wheels, and 5/16" hardware.
I tried to keep it more compact than most designs by pivoting the wheels. One wheel is always near the spindle centerline, either positioned towards the front if I'm working on a bowl or positioned towards the back if I'm working on a spindle. This only requires reversing the entire device on the bed of the lathe, an easy operation.
