Mini-Gloat Mini-Lathe Mini Bench

[Billy Reynolds]

:D Thanks to Dennis Peacock for tutoring me on my first pen making experience. That got me hooked, had to have a mini-lathe. New to wood working but decided to build the bench for the lathe. First time usin M/T joinery. Used cheap pine didn't want to destroy any expensive hardwood. Bench turned out heavy & stable. Still need to get around to the sanding and painting of bench. Ready to start my first 20 pen set for Freedom Pens this week-end. Thanks again Dennis :) :)

Hi Billy,

It looks like you are off to a great start. That is a nice bench for your new tool. You may want to hold off on the paint. I see a set of drawers added to hold pen stuff turning tools, finish materials in the near future.

Enjoy,

Nice job !!

I need to make one myself I orderd the bed ex also but have not receaved it yet I was thinking of building one close to yours but with some drawers and maybe a fold out wing on the side for the bed ex to go on when I need to use it.
