C'mon, the only proper finish for a lathe stand is whatever you spill on it
That's true for most of us Colin, but when you have a lathe stand built of 8/4 walnut with spalted snakewood inlays, lacewood plywood back and stabilized unicorn accents like Matt you treat it differently. Tony
You buff the spills?

But a couple quick coats of Arm-R-Seal really help show off the walnut! Especially that sappy piece along the bottom!
(And a good coat of paste wax will help make the spills easier to wipe up...)
Besides, have you seen @Mike1950 's workbench!
(This thing won't be pristine forever.)
Making a graduation gift for our grandson. First real project with a scroll saw. You all make it look easier than it is :)
Note that I'm not giving you a close-up. There's a reason for that :)
Pre- sanding:
This is a pattern from Steve Carmichael. Graduation announcement in the left panel, tassel hangs on the right side.
After sanding it'll get fumed.

That's looks very nice Albert! The angled cuts really make it stand out! Tony

I moved this out of the way...
So this could move in.
Moving from 3/4hp up to 3hp. What was it Tim "The Toolman" Taylor said?
The new owner for the Delta comes to get it tomorrow. Arh, Arh, Arh.

If you wanted a 3hp saw you could have bought that crescent one....
Shop space is at a premium, or I would have driven the +/- 1500 miles to get it.
Not everyone's is there
Congratulations Tom!
By the way, I find that level of Shop Cleanliness unnerving.......
I did a full diagnostic regime on 16 speed electronic shift transmission.
Then started on an engine teardown.
Rushed home for a few hours of joinery and a bourbon.
