new bench for my Jet Mini lathe

Here are pictures of my new bench for my lathe.



My first lathe was a craftsman tube lathe mounted on a large table.  The lathe was designed for spindle work and was nearly useless for bowls.  So I bought the Jet 1420 mini and sat it on the back of the other table.  It was too high and I had to make a 4 inch box stand.

I got a set of metal legs from Dewalt and have now completed the stand.

With a couple concrete blocks on the bottom its very stable.

The old lathe and table will go to the NWA for the auction.
