Love the way you cut and assembled. Makes for a no mistake put together without relying on a tape measure for every part of the project. Great video, keep them coming.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Ken Fitzpatrick thanks, Ken! Relative reference makes life a lot easier.

[@DIYwithRick]

Man, the way you installed the drawers using spacers is so smart! It really simplified the process. Drawer installs have always given me so much trouble, I'll have to give this a shot next time. Great video!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+DIYwithRick thanks, Rick! Once I learned that trick it was so much easier.

[@christhole5518]

looks awesome Brad, I agree with you that the continuous grain on the drawer fronts is a nice touch and a good reminder for me to be aware of that kind of detail in future builds!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Chris CRT Builds thanks, Chris! First time doing continuous grain and I love it!

[@GunflintDesigns]

Great job Brad! Watching this is like deja vu... I just published my video building a stand with storage for the exact same lathe! It was really cool to see how you encountered some of the same design requirements that I did and how we both attacked them differently. I like the continuous grain on the face of yours. I went with continuous book matched grain running vertically on mine. I swear we were sharing a brain during this!

[@stephencaldwell1123]

Stylish and functional all out of plywood. Great build and I really love how it turned out. I think I especially like the tool holder!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Stephen Caldwell thanks, Stephen!

[@jaykepley5238]

Beautiful work. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience.

[@MikeTremoulet]

This is fascinating; I've never seen or thought of using so many referential measurements, using one part of setup to reference all of the other sizing and cuts. Great build!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Mike Tremoulet thanks, Mike! In a project like this with so many dependencies for spacing it really makes things so much easier to not rely on the tape measure.

[@eddieespinosa8743]

This table would be good for my jointer, time to start making one, thanks

[@glen3257]

wow I love woodworking. Thank you for posting this video. I just ordered my jet midi lathe and am so excited. My only problem in watching this is thinking I want to do that while my skill set may not allow me to do this. I last built a nightstand with door in high school and I think the door was way off and didn't close lol.

[@DannyFourSquare]

I'll be using this plan when I get my lathe up and running. Great build!

[@amwind1]

I need an idea for making a mobile lathe stand that would include my sharpening system. Your build definitely gave me an idea on building mine with a few minor tweaks. Thank you for sharing and inspiring

[@MichaelLawing]

Awesome build, Brad! Glad to see companies like Jet partnering with creators in our community!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Very nice, got some cabinet builds coming up for my workshop too so will be doing something similar

[@victoriaa8765]

Looks very neat.Great video!

[@KSFWG]

Great build, Brad!! This cabinet could be used for many things and not just for a lathe. This is really quite a versatile cabinet! Now, turn some knobs and give a coat or two of wipe on poly.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+KSFWG yeah, totally agree. After I built it I realized it was basically an all purpose cabinet. And I did put on 2 coats of poly and somehow never mentioned it :)

[@rm709]

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Jesse peña Hahaha, I know it took way longer than expected. Hope it was worth the wait 😃

[@oliverdunn1626]

I ordered the plan and have it about 80% complete (awaiting delivery of the drawer slides), and feel that with over 35 years of woodworking experience I can say - - - one of the EASIEST builds I've ever done. I'm also a professional turner, so I modified the buildout to include an on-board vacuum system. (BTW the Stanley 8 gal/6 HP fits the small side of the bench like a glove. Incredible. Your referential measuring system is the cat's whiskers. Worked like a champ. It's so simple, I wish I'd thought of it years ago.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Oliver, that is so great to hear! I'm glad the build worked out well for your!!

[@diyhuntress]

Late to the party here - but, loved this so much! Will have to make a mobile stand for my new lathe. Totally inspired by yours!

[@raulgomez3588]

Dear Friend, The lathe table is a marvel, I have placed my lathe Nova Coment II and the height of the lathe, the space in drawers is great. Thanks

Very cool, might build one for my lathe!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+David Meisel you should. It cleaned up so much stuff I had in boxes and different spots.

[@defmise10]

Cool, yeh right now I have my lathe on a open stand that I built when I bought it. It has a open shelf under the lathe and of course anything I put down there gets covered in dust when I'm turning. Also because of the vibration of the lathe stuff normally falls off of it to. So drawers would be much better and offer much better storage options. Thanks for idea and video. ;)

Nice I'm not the ONLY one late to the party! Love the build!!! So many tricks and tips!!! Great job! One minor nit pick...they aren't "false" drawer fronts. The are just drawer fronts. If they were "false" they would be for looks not functional. Sorry to not pick but that's a common misconception. Overall the video and quality is EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Nice job on this lathe stand! I have built a couple versions of both your drill press stand for a drill press and a small band saw as well as a couple flip top stands for various tools and space saving abilities. How is this lathe stand holding up for you 2-3 years later? Is it solid enough and is the weight of the lathe an issue at all?

[@gregoryhalye8907]

Great video from start to finish! I just have one issue with a lathe workstation that small ..... I've only been turning for 2 years, and I already have way more wood blanks than would completely fill every single drawer in that thing! If you keep on with the turning, you'll want to put a bookcase or two to the right for your "landing zone" and fill it with plastic shoe boxes full of blanks! Also, if you cut fresh wood or obtain more green wood, storing it in the shop to help it acclimate will help dry it more neatly ... make sure to scrape wax away from the sides of the blanks, but not the end grain, to reduce splitting and checking... Having a place to store your fresh cut green blanks that you've pre-formed on the lathe and are waiting for them to dry is a good idea too ... stuff em in a paper bag along with a good pile of the shavings that came off the turning and put em on the shelf. Take them down once a month to turn the blanks (to avoid fungal growth) and check their weight. Write the initial weight of the piece on the bag ... update it each month with the new weight as it dries ... when the weight doesn't change from one month to the next, it's dried and fully acclimated to your shop. This is the time to finish turning it to final size and apply your finish.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Gregory Halye yeah, as I grow as a tuner I assume the drawers will hold more tools and accessories and less wood 👍

[@robhebert5137]

LOVE. IT. :) I wonder if anyone makes clear lexan pulls so you don't have to interrupt that grain....

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Rob Hebert that would be killer!!

[@joedance14]

Just re-read the plans and watched the video again, for the umpteenth time. Really like your design and construction. In the video and the plans there are brief references to dust collection. Video: “I sized the top to allow for dust collection in the back...”. Plans: “It is 42” wide and 21-1/2” deep to give extra space for dust collection...” Please clarify or expand upon those comments. Thank-you.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Glad you're enjoying the plans! All that means is I left space to put one of those big gulp dust hoods behind it. Nothing fancy, just leaving space for that to sit

[@joedance14]

@@Fixthisbuildthat Thank-you for the clarification.

[@CReevesMakes]

Awesome work Brad! I really like the continuous grain fronts as well as the router tip with the one sheet being larger than the other so that they flush together. Are you going to finish it with anything or leave it raw? Well done man.

+CReeves Makes thanks, man! I did finish it with 2 coats of water based poly. Forgot to mention.

Hey Brad! Love your passion man. Where do you get your Baltic birch ply?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Nate! I get it locally at Nashville Plywood

[@quadfunpi]

My lathe has a length extension. I am thinking that the turning tools could go elsewhere and a drop leaf extension could go on that side for turning ball bats or leg spindles.

[@Zahnarzt2008]

Great vid! You inspired me and last night finished assembling the carcase and am going to make the top tonight. In terms of location of the mounting holes for the lathe (I have the exact same lathe and love it), I was thinking of mounting it to the right end of the top as opposed to the left end like you have it so I can more easily get around the end of the lathe when hollowing out bowls. This would leave the accessory space to the left of the lathe. What advantages do you see in mounting to the left as you have, or is it strictly personal preference? Thanks again for the great vid.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Brian Schmid hey, Brian! That's awesome that you're making one, can't wait to see it. I put the open space on the right mainly because I'm right handed and it felt natural to have it there. Also if I need to remove the tailstock then I can just set it down. But now that you mention that, it could be beneficial to have it on the right vs the left.

[@Belg1970]

Nice job on the cart, take a tip from me and put a coat of something on it. I didn't do it to mine and one day when I spilled some stain it ruined all my hard work. I have a smaller lathe like this and do very little turning as I was never taught how to use it properly. Since you have an in with Jet Tools maybe you could do a beginner series on how to use it??

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Pat M I actually did seal it with water based poly. Completely forgot to mention or show it. And I'm definitely a novice turner, have only done 5 or 6 different projects so far

[@jackbrandt3731]

Great cart how many sheets of ply wood did you use ?

[@lordsanityfree]

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

It looks like Baltic birch plywood. You can tell by the high quality and thin layers.

Does the 1/4” ply seem weak for the bottom of the drawers? I’ve been thinking about making this but would worry the drawers aren’t strong enough.
