I needed a lathe stand long enough to accommodate the bed extension on my Delta Midi so I made one based on the plans from Shop Notes January 2003 Issue 67. I made a few modifications to the original plans. I made it a little lower, a little longer, and added 4 more drawers. Three drawers hold lathe chisels and the other 4 are for lathe accessories, supplies, etc. Plus there are two large shelves for woods, etc. It is rock solid and heavy, since there is almost three full sheets of MDF in it.
I just had to try it out today after I finished it so I made this pen. The wood is from a tobacco stick my Grandfather made app. 80 years ago.
