Borrowing the design from David Gunn's recent post, I threw together a bench for my newly arrived Jet 1220 VS this weekend. After a lot of hard work, I finally got it finished and here is the results. I still need to install the leg levelers when they arrive this week. I am very happy with this lathe and set up and now ready to get serious on turning again.

What a great looking bench and lathe setup! I like that one better than the diving board!

Great looking bench Bob. I even like you're matching bench grinder stand.
Now go have some fun with it.

I think that the tubs under the bench need to be filled with shavings. Very nice bench but way to clean.

I am flattered to see someone copied my stand. I am jealous that your looks better though. Nice work, and like the others said, make some shaving now.
