Lathe Workstation

Here's a little picture tutorial of the evolution of my lathe setup/work station since I purchased it. First I have a couple of images of it before I purchased it, with the original owner.

 He had mounted short piece of wood on the back "splash shield" to hold some of the most common/larger tooling and the dial indicator.

 Picture of the back of the basic, bottom of the line, Craftsman tool box it was bolted too. There was a piece of plywood as a work surface. I made sure to secure the lathe bed with all 4 bolts. If you do this, make sure not to over tighten it, especially if the surface isn't 100% even, or it will warp the bed way.

I later upgraded the tool box to a much larger unit with ball bearings.
