Trusting that member John K Jordan doesn't mind re-posting a picture of his lathe, how many good ideas can you spot from his layout? It's obvious that there's a lot of experience and thought packed into what he uses around his lathe. What first caught my eye was the large rectangular container under the lathe. I'm embarrassed to say how many times I would sweep up a pile of shavings there before using a container instead.
