Got a mini-lathe for Christmas last year and needed something to put it on. Hundreds of spinning tops and mushrooms later, I’m pretty sure it was worth it. Here’s a couple other things from my lathe.

My first bow turned out pretty nice I think

Just sharing in case you find it useful, but these are the plans I used on my first workbench.

Final product had a few tweaks but was mostly as-written (I made it four inches taller, used trim screws on the trim, and finished with polyurethane).

    Thanks... That looks pretty nice. You said that was your first one... What generation are you on, now? What motivated the change(s)?

    Thanks!

    I gave the workbench to a friend when I moved to a new place without a garage, but haven’t made another quite yet.

    Only brought up that it was my first one because I found the plans easy enough as a beginner :).
