Well this is not a turning project but it is for my lathe. I wanted to make a cabinet for under my new G0766 lathe to store all the various turning stuff that we seem to collect and I also wanted to add a little weight to it so after thinking about various options I decided to completely replace the legs and build a whole new cabinet. I used some 2x4's, 2x6's, the shipping crate, a sheet of 1/2" plywood and some old 2 1/2" thick maple boards I had been moving around for 20 years to build it. I made chambers down both sides and across the top and added 450lb of sand to it. All total I think the cabinet weighs around 650 lb. 5 large 28" deep drawers should hold quite a bit of stuff. I still need to mount a piece of 80/20 on the headstock end that will stick up over the headstock to mount my hollowing TV on and I am thinking about building a 20" extension to the bed so I can slide the tail stock down out of the way of the hollowing rig so that I don't have to pick it up off the lathe. By replacing the legs I also was able to lower the lathe an inch which is a better height for me.
