Building a Wood Lathe Work Bench with drawers using recycled vintage lumber

Step 3: The finished product in use!

So did I finish it!  You bet and here it is, the fruits of my labor and I personally think it looks great and it works great too.  All the holes are great to store chuck keys, knock out bars, chisels, tool rests, and more.  Now I know not everybody is going to find a great set of drawers at a garage sale but do keep your eyes open and I highly recommend a good solid bench top to sit beside your lathe, it is one of those things I never knew I needed by I cannot imagine living without it now.

In the second picture you can see that I have this thing loaded up, I have about fifty pounds of chucks and faceplates in the top drawer and it still slides smooth as silk!  I did add some non skid drawer lining material in each drawer so add another $10 to the project to make this a $20 instructable!
