    Workshop

    After years of hogging the dining table for days on end while working on guns I have been banished to the garage.

    So I have decided to set up a proper workshop and my long term plan is to get a bench lathe. I have used many full sized lathes over the years but never a bench sized one. It may sound daft but in order to set up now and have the space ready does one use a bench lathe sitting or standing?

    Many Thanks

    Standing surely, for when it goes wrong and you have to leap out of the way.

    Hsing-ee, well done bud.

    A good point well made, bit simple when you think about it.

    Thanks
