Well, I frequently change my mind about where I want tools.

If it's a big lathe, ya might shake the paint off the wall when you put on a
big bowl blank.

I'd try it, but mount it with bolts, so if you learn something about how you
SHOULD have mounted it later, you can change it easily.

I am going to make a bench for a lathe in my garage.

It would be easiest and sturdiest to attach some 2x4s to the garage
framing; won't move around for anything that way. I could even run braces
to the framing also, and have no legs to get in the way of cleaning up.
The downside is that it can't be moved.
I can't see any reason I would ever want to move a lathe. What do you
think?
