    Introducing my 1220 VS with bench.

    Borrowing the design from David Gunn's recent post, I threw together a bench for my newly arrived Jet 1220 VS this weekend. After a lot of hard work, I finally got it finished and here is the results. I still need to install the leg levelers when they arrive this week. I am very happy with this lathe and set up and now ready to get serious on turning again.

    What a great looking bench and lathe setup! I like that one better than the diving board!

    Great looking bench Bob. Looks really stout and the 1220 looks nice.


    NOW how come it is so clean? Sheesh!

    Great looking bench Bob. I even like you're matching bench grinder stand.
    Now go have some fun with it.

    I think that the tubs under the bench need to be filled with shavings. Very nice bench but way to clean.

    Nice setup, looks like you're ready to roll now!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    I am flattered to see someone copied my stand. I am jealous that your looks better though. Nice work, and like the others said, make some shaving now.
