Re: Super lathe bench
For what ever reason my lathe bed has a vary slight twist to it. It needs a stronger bench to be attached to so the lathe can be shimmed to untwist the lathe bed so it is dead straight/level. I'm sure

Re: Super lathe bench
Saw that video this weekend. Then showed it to my wife. Between us we've now got at least 3 different Spring projects planned. Would be interesting to see how well that would work as a work surface.
