I have been using these tools without a stand for a while now! I got tired of them not being stable and decided this weekend was the time to do something about it heres what I came up with!:D
Lathe stand: I needed this bad I was using it on top of a plastic pinic table:o
I also had my bed ex. in the box it came in and had never opend it. So I made the stand big enough to use it.
Buffing stand:I was using it on top of my router table held on with clamps:o I made it High enough so I wont have to bend over to use it. I also added an old milk crate to hold my buffing supplies. Used an old cord and put a on off switch on it.
Grinder stand:I was using it on top of my tablesaw:o I made it high enough so I can grind the bowl gouges and not have to bend over to see if im getting the bevel right. and my homemade sharpening Jig is on it too!
They were all made of 1 1/2 sch 40 pipe and 3/8 x 3 angle iron
