Hi guys!
Today I have bought my first ever lathe and I am itching to have a go on it but I have nowhere to safely use it at the moment as I have no bench
I understand that a sturdy bench is required due to the vibrations from the machine. Is it possible to make a suitable/sturdy bench from softwood?
If not then what should I be looking to make it out of?
The thread at the top of the page (quick table for friend) shows some basic benches which would be ideal for me but would they be strong enough?
Thanks for looking and I look forward
To hearing the replies!
