I thought I'd build a bench style seat that I could slide on. Lew suggested a stool with wheels.......Duh. Simple and effective. I found one on Amazon with 5 wheels and a pneumatic height adjustment for $30. My wife had enough points that it was free. Price was just right Report

May 27, 20179 yr comment_110872 Greetings all To help you turn when sitting fown, have look at Vicmark sit down lathe set-up. I have seen turners in wheel chair using this set-up and it gives them more control as piece is closer to them. It is like leaning over towards the turner. Not that hard to do your current lathe, lift rear up few centimeters. Just a thought.... Report
