Well here it is. It was delivered yesterday. I got the table finished today and the lathe put together. It's not bolted down yet. Need to get some bolts, and I haven't installed the Nova chuck yet. Tomorrow's task after work. As you can see, the table has locking casters. I'm not sure if I'll keep them or not. I'll have to wait and see how the vibration and sturdiness of the table is first. Now the learning begins!

Nice job on the bench. My Delta arrived yesterday - I hope to have a bench built over the next week or so.

Happy turning :)

Nice machine but the only thing wrong with it is that it's too clean.Lets see some sawdust.I like the bed extension.I might have to get one for mine soon .

HAHA I know it's too clean but I'm stuck here at work (slow day) and my toy is at home. I can't dirty it up until I get some bolts to secure it to the table and get some boards glued up. I have a ton of hardwood boards. Just nothing to turn other than an 8" X 3" X 3" piece of Ash that came from a baseball bat blank. I'll probably use that as my first learning piece. We have a baseball bat factory nearby so Ash and Maple blanks are easy to get

Congrat's - Nice job on the stand. Gee, I think I used to have a floor in my shop too--haven't seen it in a while
