Not quite finished,but close enough to show!
Construction is 3/4" Maple/Birch ply on a torsion box base with swivel casters on lifts at both ends. The face frame and door frames are Sycamore, door inserts are 1/8" Maply ply, and the drawer facings are Aspen (ran short of Sycamore). The top is trimmed with Purpleheart. Next is to drill the holes to bolt the lathe down.
Still to do is make the shelves and drill for the shelf pins, and build a chisel rack that will hang on a French cleat inside the right hand door for storage. A second cleat will be on the outside of the door to hang them on when the lathe is being used. I am going to glue up some Purpleheart blanks for Ginger to turn knobs for the doors and drawers. Everything except the knobs will be sprayed with semigloss laquer.
She wants a fold down work shelf on the back that will get added later.
