We all watched as Marc built the beast, several of us commented on possibly making a dedicated bowl one but couldn't think of how to do tool rest. How about a concrete headstock with a thrid leg off of the back, then make it to accept whatever bed extension you want i.e. PM 20" extension and 24" tool base set for 699 at tool king. you now have a 24" swing bowl lathe, or cast a second independant stand to mount the bed and tool rest to and use it like a stand alone tool rest. just a thought. surely you could find a mobile base that would hold it to make it easily moved to general location then use the movement of bnjo to fine tune.
