OK so about a month back I purchased an old Total Shop "Lathe" off ebay. It was delivered from FL about 1.5 weeks later...because of the set-up it was unusable(bent legs and loose busted wheels.) Well Mon I built a new bench for it, s*#t new problem no mounting holes to bolt it on the new bench. I solved that issue with the brackets under the ends. Turned it on and oh was it smooth and hardly any vibes from the bench. SWEEET! So last night I put my very first ever piece of wood on a lathe and had a blast with the crappy chisels that came with it. Today I had some more fun sanding, staining and polishing the "thing" I made.....here it is.
