Built a benchtop cabinet stand for my new Robust Scout Lathe. Top is 23” X 46” with a height of 30”. Added a 1” spacer to get spindle height to 46”. Used 1” baltic birch ply doubled for top and sides. For weight put a 18” X 38” X 1 1/4” granite (about 85 lbs.) at bottom. Extended legs out forward for more stability (28” wide). Gonna use furniture corner moving dollies to move from wall area to center of shop area for when in use.

Nice build, having drawers to keep the stuff organized and sawdust out is always a plus.

front “legs” are a great idea, should really stabilize the cabinet

Excellent job, I really like your design, looks like it moves around easily with those casters. You should be very proud of your accomplishment. Thank You

I really like the aesthetics of your build. Beautiful, functional and looks like it could carry an elephant.
Do you have any videos about the build?
God bless.

Great stand. I like the idea of using a slab for weight rather than the typical cinder blocks or paving blocks I’ve seen in others.

THANKS everyone
I also use the furniture corner moving dollies on my table saw which can see in one of the pics.
Rayne—— the granite cost $12 got it from the guy who installed our house granite 2 yrs ago. The granite (18” x 38” x 1 1/4” thick) itself was free but he charged me $4 per cut (3 cuts) to get it to the size needed. He told me it weight was 18 lbs a sq ft so I figured it out to about 85 lbs.
