    Default $8.85 lathe bench

    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

    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


    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
    DANGER!!!!

    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.
