Scrap Wood Lathe Stand

[Ken Massingale]

I finally got the Jet Mini off the sawhorses.

The frame is Cherry salvaged from cracked/split boards, the end panels and drawer frames are ply from apple juice shippimg crates. The top is a piece of a dumpster solid core door, covered with Oak flooring scraps from a local dealers trash pile. The drawer fronts are scrap pieces of Melamine left over from a kitchen cabinet build.

I'll have the turning tools in the top drawer, finishing supplies in the middle and chucks, drives, etc. at the bottom.

ply from apple juice shipping crates

Man, you must drink A LOT of apple juice! :gar-La;

Well done Ken :icon_thum Especially cool knowing your material origins :wsmile:

 

[Ken Massingale]

Thanks guys.

Nope, I don't drink that much AJ :gar-La; , a fellow around here occassionally has 42 by 47" pieces of ply from shipping crates for $3 each, it has printing on it and scuff marks but it's usable for shop projects.

You'll notice the top is offset, I'll be adding a fold down table on the right side for the lathe extension, one of these days.

Again thanks for the comments.
