I wanted a bench were everthink is in frount of me all set up just for the mini lathe
were you can see it and allso to help Matt my apprentice wood turner:q

The day after the GTG Matt draged in this wall unint from out the front of my place
and set to work pulling it down to just a bench and he allso screwed down the mini to the bench top

Now With two of us working and 2 lathes going at the same time can get a little bit of a pain in the bum as I know were everythink is and Matt has know clue

So yesterday when cleaning up I started to think in my mind what sort of setup
I can make whith what I had laying around in the shop :B


And this is what I made up
Light A GIFT FROM LOML
Banch FREE
Paint FREE
Wood FREE
Knobs for the Draws $8.85 for 3

Great looking set-up, I'm very jealous. And that light is brilliant.

My only question would be:

Why did you pay for the knobs?

It would have taken 10 minutes to turn them.

Other than that - brilliant.
