This is geared to a Shopsmith, but easily enough adaptable to other
types. Something similar would work well enough on mine, and it only
resembles the Shopsmith in the fact that it's a lathe.

Joat... i built a couple of them years ago and the main problem with them is
that they get covered with shavings...
I built one that went on the top rails but it got in the way.. *g*

I've played with a lot of things that didn't work, but something that I use a
lot is pretty much like the shopsmith one, but mounted at about a 45 degree
angle on an old stand for a roller support...
Nice to have near the lathe when you're turning and in a corner somewhere when
you're not...

Hey Mac, ever consider a rolling cart? I've got a little wire one
that works like a charm. Points go down between the wires, chips fall
right through, and you can stick other stuff on it as well. Works so
well, I never did get around to building one.

BTW: will that hold your rasps and planes for turning big stuff? *g*
