I just purchased a Delta/Rockwell 46-450 lathe. Moving up from a Delta Midi. The Midi, of course sits on a bench I have room around it for "things". Finishes, wax, tools, abrasives and so on.
The new machine will sit right where that bench used to be. I need to build some kind of way to accommodate all the assorted stuff that you want at hand for your lathe work. Directly behind the lathe is a pair of windows that look out over the old mill pond at Oak Ridge. No way will I block that view with shelving. Thinking about putting some shelving under the lathe, need some place for turning tools. I picture a roll around cabinet with a flat top, perhaps some loops to hold tools on the side and storage inside.
Anyone got pictures or ideas for dealing with this kind of issue that I may borrow on?
