Not in situ yet, but here’s my new workbench round at my friend’s workshop. It’s solid as a rock and very heavy. To get it in the van (including lifting), we opted to make the top removable. A lot more work drilling and tapping, but worth it as it gives me options for fitting it in. I could make it L-shaped instead of having a straight run.

When I start looking for a decent lathe I’ll have an idea of whether the sizes I need can be bench mounted. I expect most will come on their own stands given their size, but that will add additional cost. That comes a little further down the list though. For now my next job is painting the base and rebuilding it in situ.
