I decided that the new lathe needed a dedicated cabinet to hold the lathe, tools, supplies and whatever else I may need to turn. I attempted to make it in the Kirkby fashion but failed in several areas. At least it has a bunch of MDF for drawer fronts and doors. I just couldn't get the finish right. Used Resisthane Plus and maybe that's not a good finish for MDF. The left door is too long and the bottom, left small door is too wide. (Actually a hinge issue).
At least I shouldn't have lathe stuff strewn thoughout the shop with the other tools (discipline, discipline, discipline).
After Rikon sent new bearings and I changed them out the lathe purrs like a kitten.
Edit: Posted without adding the picture and can't figure out how to add it now so will add another post.
