hi I am tring to make a new bench for my lathe or cut the legs of the old bench

can you take the bench apart and run the legs thru a table saw or something to shorten them.

another alternative is to turn four legs and use the old bench top or make a new top?

ps its good to see another young(er) person on here

Tunnel as the father of 2 teenage boys do not cut the lathe bench down to suit your height now because in 6 months time it will be too short.

You are at the begining of growth spurts and every 6 months your parents will be buying you new school pants because you have outgrown the last pair.

Make a more suitable platform to stand on that will give you room to move on.

see if you can grab hold of a palet from somewhere.
Cut it down, fill in the gaps.
Helo uncle bob!

of have you considerd platform shoes
