Here's the bench my wife and I built for our lathe.? Simple steel tube and angle with sheet metal topped OSB.? The lower shelves will just be OSB but we didn't get a chance to make them before our unexpected travel.? I also want to put a bit of cross bracing on this, it sways a bit when cranking the slide a lot.

Construction hint:? There are angle supports under the table where the lathe is bolted down, so the wooden top is not holding up anything other than tools.

The legs have nuts welded in and adjustable feet.

In the picture the feet and sheet metal haven't been added yet, you can see the metal in the background.
