My outboard tool rest arrived today for my DVR. Tomorrow the DVR should
itself arrive.

I could build the wooden stand in about an hour if it warms up enough to
work outside. Or I could make a pilgrimage to woodcraft and buy the
sheet metal stand (I need to go there anyways to get the correct insert
for my chuck).

One thing is I need to put casters or a portable base on the stand so I
can move it around and then secure it with blocks.

Any suggestions?

My stand holds both my Nova DVR and my Grizzly 1067 (hey, I got it for real short money used). The top is 3" thick hard maple
(60"x28"). Its sitting on a frame made from laminated 2x4s (each leg and all stretchers are 6"x4") and everything is mortise/tenon
construction. A shelf is available for putting more weight if needed, but the entire unit (including the lathes) weighs close to
400lbs already. So far, there is no need for more weight. Keep in mind that I rough turn almost everything FIRST on my 1500lb
Faye-Scott pattern maker's lathe.
