Video of the drawers: coming soon!

My dad and I bought a metal working lathe. It weighs about 180kg and needed a good stand that could handle the weight and the vibration from the machine. The one we could have bought was about 400€ more...and made from sheet metal. No option for me, so I built this cabinet stand instead. Solid beech hardwood, birch plywood panels, and everything joined with mortise and tenon joints. There's no metal fastener in the basic structure. The cabinet itself now also weighs about 100kg, but that's good for the application.

This stand could also be used as a regular workbench with lots of storage. I think I build another one someday for my workshop.

Would you be interested in plans? Let me know.


Now the lathe is a Optimum brand. We haven't used it very much yet, so keep that in mind if you ask questions about it. I can't give a review on it and I also don't want to as this is not what my channel is about. And because I know it's a hot topic and I don't want to answer the same question over and over again. The lathe was about 3200€ (without tools or accessories)
