Still a little to do like building drawers for more tools and hang curtain behind to control chips. Was going to make tool rack of PVC pipe then decited to try a4x4 and drill holes for tools. It worked now to see if I like this arrangement.Oh by the way there is another lathe behind this one.

What did I miss! What topic did you show off your new lathe in? Awesome setup Gerald.

Nice setup. I like that overhead light. Is it an LED?

@John Morris Lathe is not new and neither is the Jet 1442 behind it. Just a new setup driven by more space and new ideas to allow easier access to tools

 

@lew yes it is LED from WoodTurners Wonders. I do love it but sometime wish it was a clamp on . Wonder if they make a clamp-magnet>

I see they do offer this adapter. Maybe it would work-

Gerald.

Beautiful set-up...  really nice and organized.  No wonder you turn such wonderful pieces, you have the right tool(s) for the job!

 

We have this light from woodturnerswonders.....

It has a very strong switchable magnet, it's great to work with.

John I actually have three and the other one is a Delta 46-460.Thanks for the comments. Been working on finishing up the move of sharpening station and got some more ideas , so will be moving two more tools (drill press and bandsaw) , and a vice bench tomorrow. Hope I don't get anymore ideas so I can get back to turning.
