It is always incredible how you find solutions to problems that arise. That impresses me again and again. Once again a great video and I'm already looking forward to the second part

Nice. I like that you always keep the mistakes and show how you work around them. Maybe you should get an engine hoist like you had in the barn. Oooor (project idea) some kind of ceiling mounted crane system...

Hi Jeremy I’m a cabinet maker by trade and currently work doing laser templating for solid surface countertops. This was such a satisfying video to watch. The attention to detail is my favourite part my friend, can’t wait for the next video

Some of the best days on KZfaq are when you post a video. Watching you work is truly a treat.

I greatly appreciate your insights into motivation and getting the task complete. As a neurodivergent person, I empathise with the idea of the task being too large to begin. Perfect is the enemy of the good, and all that.

I sometimes think half my time in the shop consists of fixing my previous knucklehead mistakes. Nice recovery.

When I made the stand for my Myford S7 lathe, I made a compartment right below the top and put in 4 large bags of sand that I got from Home Depot. It's been a few years but I think it was called playground sand ( for kids home sandboxes ) or something like that. You wants lots of mass and this weighed a whole lot ( I was going to say that it weighed a "ton" but that would be overstating things a bit.)

You give the word ' perfection' another meaning/dimension. Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic👍🇪🇺🇳🇱

Matthias Wandel meets Woodshop Junkies. Your modular designs and attention to detail are inspiring.

Jer, the level of workmanship and artistry that goes into your projects is remarkable. Thanks so much for letting us look over your shoulder in the shop!

I'm amazed at how light the MDF slab looks to be. Every time I worked with MDF that size they were extremely heavy.

Really inspiring, especially the example of applying an engineering solution to a motivation problem (ie., build a general solution that you trust, to get a win on part of the project before you even start it.).

Awesome Jer, love your builds, great to see you putting up regular content, and really great to see you're so much more comfortable in your own skin these days, top class maker, engineer and personality.

This is an excellent solution. As usual, a more-elaborate effort than a slob like me would undertake. Your delay for some years in getting the lathe set up is an example of a "gumption trap" (from Robert Persig's _Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_ )--a project that seems too big to even contemplate, especially with limited time but unlimited expectations. For me, just having to hunt-up the needed tools can trap me into weeks of delay. GTs are some of the biggest problems I (and almost everyone, I suppose) face in life. It's an outstanding thing, though, that you've been getting out shorter videos but more often--in this case even without being sure how to proceed. As a viewer, I think that's what I want.

That lathe is beautiful, it reminds me of grandma's old sewing machine

Awesome job! That’s going to be so nice to use when it’s finished. I bought your plans and will be making a ton of the modular cabinets for my shop and some for my friends too. I’ll definitely post a video of the radial arm saw station based on your design. Thanks for all the inspiration!

Your modular design is paying off in so many ways, great work Jer!

What caused me to comment was the final lifting of the lathe to the new bed. That you prepared the ground work by breaking down the lift into a two stage lift and not an all in one heave-ho job that was begging to go wrong. As you showed, the final stage lift to the cabinet was too much for your helper leaving you with a clear exit strategy to half way back, and not straight down to the floor again where the lathe may well have suffered damage in a drop, never mind damage to your helper. That was first class workmanship right there. The way you solved for that by raising the height of your helper was creative, out side the box and worked demonstrating your innate aptitude for the work you do. I am left envious of the quality of finish you've given your lathe leaving me feeling inadequate and way behind the curve - I could have done so much better as you've demonstrated. I doff my cap to your superior workmanship.

I love hearing you think through problems to their solutions. Thanks so much for posting your awesome content.

Always enjoy when you produce a new video Jeremy. Thank you.

I love the way you bent the rod with the square tube and the protractor. Nice job!!

Thanks to your friend for making this video a project win , going to get up to speed with those base cabinets next the look very impressive.

Cool lathe and beautiful table! Nice work, thanks for sharing with us! I really appreciate the work you put into your videos.

Always a pleasure watching you do your thing my friend. Thank you.

Jeremy, your planning and problem solving skills are on another level! Beautiful work, man!

Good to see you back on full song - loved seeing the old lathe being put back into use. Looking forward to seeing how you sort out the electrics.

Your sense of detail and problem solving are out standing. I think if you were commissioned to build targets for the military they would be indestructible. ;o) Thanks for sharing this project. Please continue to post them we all enjoy them.

Excellent job, Jeremy. Rock solid construction with top problem solving.👍

Thanks for the interesting build. You are always a joy to watch. Keep them coming!

Awesome Jer as always, Amazing to watch you work and figure things out as you go. Already impatiently looking forward to the next instalment. Love and Respect from North London UK.

Really nice Jer. Your design and fabrication skills never disappoint! Cheers!

I enjoyed reading the comments because they express a number of my thoughts and opinions. Thanks for the time and effort you share with us.

That’s solid work. Thank you for sharing.

Incredible project that was expertly executed!

Great project. Impressive use of mdf scraps

Outstanding as usual, Jer.

it's always so satisfying watching you design and build something . thank you for sharing once again.

Utterly enjoyed watching Jer! :) Looking forward to the next one.

Jer, it’s great to see you making videos again! You have so much to offer ! Thank-You!

Yes sir….. this is amazing 👍👍😎👍👍. Looking forward to part 2. Jer, you’re going to be so much happier with your lathe back in action.

Thanks for the ideas for my little South Bend metal lathe, Jer! It'll give me an excuse to practice my welding, too!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Keep it up!

Such a beautiful lathe in great condition.

Sooo satisfying! I love your work!

Very nice lathe cabinet/bench. When leveling my lathe to the bench top (to eliminate twist and true to the bed) I adjust the four corners of the lathe with two nuts per mounting bolt, one on the top to lock down and the bottom nut to raise or lower that corner. When level, the lathe is suspended on the four corner bolts, just above the surface. My lathe bench is also constructed of wood and I do have to occasionally adjust the bed back to being level as the wood moves (drying, sag, vibration, etc ). Looking forward to seeing your lathe power control bar design in action. I've used the commercial two-button (one to push-to-start and the other extra-large button to stop) on my table saw and I like the hands-free, bump-to-stop feature.

You do great work. It's a pleasure to watch.

You are a true inspiration in the workshop, especially your flexibility working with and mastering different materials.

Sooooo Glad your're back mate!!

There's robust, and then there's Jeremy's solution. Your work will survive the fall of civilization. Jolly Good!

Super cool design Jer. 👍🏻 You're quite the perfectionist

Beautiful work!

What a project. Learnt a lot of tricks, thanks for sharing.

you have to be the epitome of a nerd in attitude and appearance, but I admire you, your projects and your work practices, I only wish I could be as precise.

That is one beautiful little machine man, and youre one helluva craftsman she deserves you.

Great to see you back making great videos again my friend.

This is the first time I have ever clicked the "Bell" Icon on YouTYube. When I saw this was posted only hours ago... and I would have to wait for the power switch video... I was sad. Cant wait to see that part, great solution! Your ideas are always motivating and help me with my projects, keep em' coming.

great job. loved how you solved the alignment issue

The black pan with silver frame is a good look. Kind of a inky pool of nothing it’s floating on. Maybe not the same in-person but on camera it looks like black glass.

Jer, An excellent build and an enthusiastic friend. Appears you've chosen friends wisely :) Looking forward to seeing the South Bend running.

Awesome work jer!

Nice work, I can’t wait for part 2, to see what you do with the switch. I need something like that for my router table

and again a really well made build... enjoyed watching as always 😁

Great video. Excellent workmanship and design. Long switch is brilliant. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏

I'm so glad you're back to making videos. keep it up dude, you rule.

Great project and digging the hair color and style

Always a pleasure to see your amazing creativity! I plan on making my daughter a set of those cabinets for her dorm room at college. It might help her to keep organized! I was taught how to use a metal lathe when I was a teenager, and always wanted to get one for myself. Perhaps I’ll come across one some day that I could afford.

Excellent as allways!

Always love your videos, and also wanted to say the upgrades you made to the plans (belt grinder) are next level. I used to have a lathe like this and am kicking myself for selling it because I could do this project!

Looks good buddy!

I love your videos so much! And I love that you worked with your friend a bit, that's my favorite shop time--shared shop time! Excited for part 2! Oh also, how lucky that the motor bolts were over the overhang... That surely simplified the fix :) And the tubing around the perimeter, form AND function! Nice work as always 8)

Ótimo projeto !! você é muito caprichoso, e tem o Dom !! É o tipo de vídeo que segura a gente na frente da Tela !!! 🙏🙏

I built a similar lathe stand/cabinet a few summers ago and took inspiration from your belt grinder stand that you made a while back. I really like your big paddle switch on the front though, I may need to incorporate something similar. Nice work as always

You sir are a GENIUS!

Beautiful!

Awesome galore. Very talent.

Give that girl a beer. A good friend. Excellent problem solving skills you have a well.

17:40 it always helps to have a good friend around.

Nice job as always.

This turned out beautifully! I've been trying to think of a good way to have my lathe set up. I still need to have some sort of countershaft made for it though.

I enjoyed that. Thank you.

Nice work!

Beautiful. My long time fave KZfaq channel is still batting 1,000. Thank you!

Holy frig where did all these subscribers come from? Keep it up dude we love your content

Great job Jeremy !! That power bar is brilliant. I bet you are fired up to get it up and running after a few years of sitting. Hope all is good and thanks for the video my friend. 👍👍

it is good to have a nice sturdy friend to help out.

Nice job! A friend of mine when we where in High School was drilling with a 1/2 corded electric drill. He had long much like yours. His hair got caught in the chuck and latterly tore a huge Chunk of is scalp off his head. It was a real mess he lost a lot of blood waiting on an ambulance and getting to the hospital. He spent 9 months in the hose cause of complications healing wounds. Jeremy tie your hair up when using machinery please. I do not want to be the safety nut. But situation like yours could have been easily prevented. His hair never grew back. 🤯🛫

great stuff!

Excited to see the power switch video. I have an old Rivett lathe that has the power switch on the motor behind the lathe, which is just a terrible location. Your idea seems like a great solution.

Nice Build.

Really enjoy your vids. Wish you had time to make more!

Very nice ! I enjoy the way you work things out . I think your a genius ! I've been watching your videos since you were in your dads place. Keep up the great video's !!

Liking forward for that wide switch, I could use something like that for a couple of my machines!

Great job!

Great project and really well made, you really pay attention to details. My only advice is level the lathe soon. Cheers from Fla.

as usual great job

9:00 All those hearts are super cute!

Nice work

Nice build. I like it. One step you missed, is you need to make sure there is no twist in the lathe bed. Yes, as heavy as it is, it can still twist. If the base isn't perfectly flat (nothing is), when tightening down the mounting bolts, you may have introduced a twist in the bed which will result in a taper when turning a part. You need to use a precision machinist level to make sure there is no twist in the bed. It's not important that it's level to the earth, but that the headstock end is as level as the tailstock end.

Excellent.

Brilliant 👏
