I’m now building a bench to put the lathe on. When finished it will be 215cm long, 70cm wide, and 90cm tall. The top will be metal covered wood and have braces under it to hold the weight of the lathe.

Below that will be two wooden shelves. These will be spaced in from the front and back by 13cm to clear legs in the front and to clear the radiator on the wall side. This way the table can go all the way to the wall.

There will also be two smaller legs in the middle to help support the weight.
