My space is shared in the back of my garage. I my first leave, the Jet 1014 and my grinder station sit on the bench behind the Powermatic. The Jill’s dad is on casters and I can move it to wherever I want it to be. It’s very handy in a non-dedicated space. The best part is I built it with my dad, it was a great project.

I really liked the motor and speed control of a nova 1214, but the tailstock was so sloppy I moved the motor to my first lathe, a jet 1015. Since I got both used I didn't worry too much about value retention and moved the controller to a bigger enclosure and added a hall effect sensor for RPM. It's still an awesome spindle and pen lathe so I think it was a good move.
The robust and SB bolster systems have really helped me reduce the number of handles I have to make room for under the mini.. and they're awesome.

@Michael: Creative!
I finally got off my butt and got the project started. Originally I was only going to do 16 boxes. Standing in the store 16 seemed like plenty. Now not so much. That's why I left room to add the rest.
Thanks for the idea!

Lots of lovely shops, interesting ideas and things to strive for.
Got sick of chasing chips all over the place so put up some baffles.
Very clever!
Nice vintage General wood lathe!
Thanks!
This is my 9x6' "tent" I set up in my basement. Ceiling is covered with 4 mil plastic, walls are pop up canopy walls hanging on PVC rods through screw eyes in the floor joists.
I have room inside for lathe, bandsaw, drill press, shelving for accessories and supplies and a sharpening station (under the blue cover).
Lot of fun per square foot...
