I'm assuming, since I didn't Google up the word "dogleg" on the site, that you mean something like this 1" post sturdy extension. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/GoodOnesGone/OffsetRest.jpg Made by Delta, may still be available in places. Used to be at Packard, no show now. It reaches well where it has to, though my original reason for purchase, reaching around behind a turning on the 12" Delta with a too-short banjo, no longer exists.
The Robust Dog Leg can be found by clicking on "About Robust Tools" at the top of the home page and then clicking on "Accessories" on the left of the page that comes up. The Dog Leg is described at the bottom of the accessories page. From the picture, it seems to be much shorter than the Delta dogleg.
