Hey guys, finally found a SB 9 and should have it soon. Can I get some pictures/examples of your tables and or benches? I'm thinking of using square tubing with a wood top.
Wow, that looks amazing. I was thinking of making another bench, not that nice admittedly. My main bench is all wood extremely heavy and took me weeks to make with hand tools. But I don't really want to invest that amount of time again. I wanna play with my new toy! Lol. So I have some 2x2x3/8 square tubing I thought I'd use up. My welding skills are not the best, I've already asked a friend to see if he will have time.
Tobnpr very nice! I definitely think I need to add some sort of tray to my build. I suppose I could start with a big cookie tray?...
,,,,,,That'll also help keep it clear of chips

I just could never see using a wood bench; I keep the lathe well slathered in oil and there's always a generous amount of it lying in the chip tray. I suppose for lathes that are mostly bench "queens" and see little use it would be OK, at the time I bought it, it was used 3-4 days a week.
Using my square 2x2x3/8 tubing, this picture is what I envision the top will look like. If I go with wood I'm thinking a minimum of 1.5 inches. But what if I go with metal? What should my minimum be? Should I change my design?
