Hello all,
I have just started building my bench. I will be posting phase pictures as it gets built and as I add on features like drawers and shelving.
Frame is made from western red cedar, the top once I build it will be made of maple 3/4 plywood.June 24, 2012 at 8:23 am #51929That will be nice when you get er done!!! cant wait to see it, take a look at the bench top I made, to me it is very handy and easy to organize, right Paul. maybe, James, there are some ideas there for you?? Have fun. William
June 24, 2012 at 11:52 am #51930Just added the maple ply top and screw plugs for a nice flat surface.
Next i will be staining or just adding a clear coat for the ply top.
June 24, 2012 at 1:48 pm #51931Looks sturdy James…keep the pics coming!!!
BobJune 25, 2012 at 12:10 am #51932Nice going James, I was a cheap skate and opted for a large desk that someone was giving away, I can be a bit lazy and very cheap Yours is looking very nice, you just cant beat having something purpose built.
Good luck with it and keep us posted.

July 3, 2012 at 6:30 pm #51934Looking good!!!!!! cant wait to see the lathe set up, sounds like you got a nice deal William
July 4, 2012 at 3:06 pm #51935My lathe is DONE! got a replacement tailstock off ebay. it fits and is as centre as its getting.
Motor is kinda slow. only 1500 rpm. new one already on order with a foot pedal.
July 4, 2012 at 3:08 pm #51936That looks beautiful James, you should be very pleased with yourself. Now your next job is to find me one that nice
