As a budding machinist/toolmaker/lathesman under the wing of my father in his manufacturing shop, I have to say I am truly inspired by your workmanship. My heart skipped a beat when you installed those step-down casters and relished in their glory at 4:35. Your reaction is the cutest damn thing. I feel your passion for the trade; it's absolutely infectious. SUB'D :)
Man, that is a great design! Love that repurposed mixer lift, absolutely perfect.
Hi April,
Great build. That stand should serve you well. I noticed a thermostat on the wall. You might want to build a removable cover to keep dust out of the workings while you're turning.
Great video. I've been turning for about 5 years and have always promised to build myself a decent cabinet to hold my tools. I finally stopped turning about a week ago and have knuckled down to making my cabinet. Your upload has given me some fresh ideas so many thanks.
Alan in Ireland,
I've never seen a mixer lift before. Great idea for the grinder! Glad I watched this video!
The mixer lift is an awesome idea for this! Really nice stand and great design.
: ) Thank you Chris.
I would like to work with you in this wonderful field. Thank you from Yemen and I love this April Wilkerson
👌👍
Que pasada muy bonito esto
April, I just found your most informative postings while searching You-Tube this weekend. Your practical and clever solutions are great. I've been doing remodeling for over 30 years and recently many Habitat for Humanity efforts. Yet I am learning a lot from watching your down-to-Earth approaches. Having raised 2 in the Chicagoland area, I encouraged them to be resourceful. You are a model for many women to follow their passions, no matter what. I've subscribed to your You-Tube postings and look forward to future ones. Your detailed plans, material listings are very helpful. Thank you. John Lorens
I am so pleased to see a young lady , not only interested in, but excelling in this area. Reminds me of my daughter. I taught her to be self sufficient and not be afraid to tackle anything. She has been changing her own oil since she was a teenager. She now remodels homes, builds her own crafts and all while raising 4 children as a single mom. April, your skill and enthusiaism really stand out. I am subscribing to your channel. Keep the videos coming!
I love your facial expressions and the happy dance. It seems that you really like it. Nice project.
: ) I love it when a project comes together and I love playing with new products I've never used before.
Nice job April.
better too heavy then not heavy enough.
Really like that swing out grinder stand.
Now go get you some blanks and make the chips fly !
Yep, that's what I was thinking! Haha yeah I'm going to work on growing my collection of blanks. : )
I have 2 young daughters who are getting into wood working. One of them watched this video with me and liked your tools. They started their own tool collection so they don't have to use mine. Thanks for sharing
that mixer lift and those step-down casters fill me with ideas. this is wonderful.
Smart idea on the grinder pull out!
Great design April! Genius using the mixer lift!
: ) Thank you Carl

Great job April! I really like the use of the mixer lift for the grinder. I think making your sharpening items as convenient as possible is key to actually keep your tools sharp. Keep up the good work!
Now that I have seen this I plan on building a table for my metal lathe, I am retired and my hobby is making obsolete gears for older or antique machinery. And as I watched you build this one it was totally awesome. Great job and TY for sharing with us, God Bless!
I like it - great job April!
and she used freshly learned joints, guess she was eager to use them :) well done indeed.

Might want to consider putting something over the front of your stand to keep the chips out of the shelves and grinder. I have a open stand too and it turns into a huge catch all for dust and debris.
Yeah we'll see, I might end up adding a door but I would prefer to have it open so I figured I would leave it as an open cabinet to start and see what I think about it. I can always make mods if the dusts creates too much of a problem in the shelves or grinder.

Hi April,
You know there’s many a man who think they can do anything but this bench and the design details would blow them away, you done a fantastic job, especially building it so strong because once its built you will want this bench cabinet to be ultimately super strong!
I love the thinking outside the box of fixing the grinder actually on the bench used for your intended work. How many times have you seen a second thought grinder on the other side of the shop and after turning it gets buried and you are forever digging it out to make the tiniest little touch-up to your tools?
You probably already know what a dirty and WET job turning can be especially when initial hogging out a large green limb for a bowl the water it unbelievably turned into steam as you work!
April, awesome job. Nice seeing you getting your lathe all setup. Look forward to seeing what you make with your lathe.
how can anyone give this setup a thumbs down? very nice job two thumbs up !!!!!!!
Thats what I wondered
Guys that are jealous that can't run a saw and she can?
I love that smile when something works as expected... or better! :) ♥
The use of the mixer bracket and those casters are brilliant!
Thank you!
Well done! Nice design, compact for your space and very sturdy. LOVE the configuration for your wet stone set-up. Clever! Nice to see careful, meticulous work being done.
Great job April
What a gal. U do some awesome stuff April
: ) Thank you!
DBat x. F,kghgldljhhg,.d.od,
April Wilkerson I'm a new sub, love what your doing in the shop
IN ALL MY 30 YEARS OF WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY OF ALL ENGENEERING I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR EXCELENCE AND OUTSTANDING ABILITY, it is so welcoming and refreshing to see a young lady doing this kind of work you are the flagship and and model for all women out there that thought it was a man orientated world. well do you :) ,amazing :)
We all can see your authentic excitement about this new addition to your shop. Good for you! Happy for you.
Great build, April. I must say, your happy dance is fun to watch: keep up the enthusiasm! ^_^
: ) Haha I love it when a project works out.
Nathan Tonning what a bunch of bullshit... Those Triton tools are all throwaway hobby tools
Having your sharpener that close and easily accessible should make keeping your tools sharpened very convenient, however I'm wondering if you shouldn't put a door or panel of some sort in front to be sure the lathe dust and shavings don't get into your sharpener's water bath or on the wheel?
Awesome job April, I have never thought to use or have seen the step down casters, I will be using those in future projects.
I love the mixer lift idea! I am making things in a very over crowded garage and I need all the space saving storage that I can get.
Не верю глазам своим: она ещё и умеет что то делать недурно! Хочу себе такую!
MIXER LIFT IS GENIUS!!!
: ) haha, thank you.
I agree - the mixer lift is a great touch! I'd suggest that you use the area on the right for tools that don't dangle, so they won't rattle around every chance they get. Maybe with spring clips or magnets or turnbuttons to hold them in place.
I've been doing woodworking for many years. I'm so glad to see fresh ideas and I will be building one of these lathe stand for my two lathes.
: ) Thank you
How is it that I didn't find this video until 10 months after I built my own janky lathe stand? GAaaah! Yours is soooo much better. Love the idea of putting the grinder right where you need it. [insert one-man standing ovation].
Since that is a wet grinder, something you might think about is putting some kind of cover over it. When you are turning wood, you will get all kinds of wood chips and dust in the water tank. Other than that, you are a very talented young lady. Great project. Thanks for sharing.
Fair idea Jerry but if you store stone wheels partially in water they go out of balance. Way better to empty the water when not in use.
that makes little difference on a slow speed wheel..
Yes. This is very good advice. The juices from some combinations of timber will actually harm the stone, particularly some west African timbers. (speaking from bitter experience with a tormek grinder identical to yours. actually I have two.) It is also a good idea as steve james has said to empty the water between days in the shop. Lastly and most importantly..... As soon as you can find someone to make it for you, replace the chromed shaft in that grinder with a stainless steel one (somebody with a metal lathe can reliably copy it for you) Otherwise water will eventually get in, rust the shaft seizing the wheel to it and eventually break the wheel. This I know from VERY bitter experience. It has cost me two wheels and as you no doubt know, they are not cheap.When you get a slightly bigger lathe (and you will) you can put two sand bags in those bottom shelves. With lathes the heavier the better. Good luck and keep the magic rolling!Ps. there is a diamond dresser available for those grinders, if not for the triton get one for the tormek it will fit (they are identical (I assume triton bought the rights) and use it periodically. I noticed your stone is fractionally out of round. Not a problem yet but it will get worse.
@victorjbarker Makes little difference on the wheel itself, but a wobbly stone might make a difference on the tools you sharpen.
Very talented lady. Her shop is well equipped. Are these all your tools? The rollers are nice but pricey.
Of course they are all my tools.
You have a nice shop, well appointed. Sometimes companies use presentations to advertise their tools/brands. You have more tools then some guys I know ( I am jealous). I compliment you on being so capable. You seem like an ideal candidate for an engineering or skilled trade position. Very sharp young lady!
Hi April!Where u buy that brand of tools you are using....is it a only Canada brand or they can be bought in USA too?And is amazing how skilled u are! Good job!
You're probably (hopefully) not meaning to be sexist, but you're being incredibly sexist.
Thomas Pate why is he being sexist its well known she has sponsors. That is a huge compliment to her! That shes skilled, and popular enough to get sponsors. Not that she couldn't afford the tools. Why is everything sexist? Why dont you just enjoy the channel and let her worry about it. Which im sure she dosnt.
That is by far one of the best ideas for a lathe stand that I've seen so far. I am most sincerely impressed. If more people thought about what they were doing as much as you do, the world wouldn't suck so much. Thanks for having a brain and giving us the plans for this. I'll be scaling it up a bit as the machine I have is a bit larger. I love the grinder pull out though. That was the clincher for me. I might add a linear actuator so I don't have to manually raise it but that's all I'd change.
April this plan is fantastic and your videos are really well done. I enjoy the way you design your projects and the absolute joy you have while building them. I'm an instant fan. I can't wait to see your next video.
Very nice! Love the happy dance too ;)
nice..from indonesia
Great work April! Thanks for sharing you're projects! I'll probably build a very similar stand and most likely use the kitchen aid lift! Keep up the great work!
Love the idea of the flip up grinder brackets. I was considering something like that for mine and didn't know they already existed.
April, I found you from Jays channel, I have to say... I love you guy's podcast. And also watching you and how you have progressed is so awesome. I am sure you give a lot of girls ....and guys that extra confidence of" I can do that" when they watch you, Keep up the fantastic work. You truly are a inspiration to many. I enjoy your down home, no nonsense approach. All the best to your up coming projects !!
Your lathe stand came out great! I'm looking forward to learning more about turning along with you!
I'm real impressed April. I recently bought a slow speed grinder/sharpener, and didn't know what I was going to with it. YOU'RE MY HEROINE! Now I know. I have a very small Metal lathe that needs a very very large amount of storage space. perfect!
;) hehe, thank you. I'm glad you like the bench. Cheers.
I finally found the bench for my vintage wood lathe. Awesome job!
Nice job and nice build! April; you never fail to inspire me. You have come so far in such a short time, it's so great to learn from and along side you. Thanks for the video!
That pull out grinder is a stroke of genius! Love it.
Hi April, Welcome to lathes, I watched a video from "the homestead craftsman" about his lathe and he put up a shower curtain that went around his lathe and stopped all the mess going everywhere. It was a simple thing to do but as you get into using your lathe you will notice the amount of wood chips you made and how they get everywhere.
I'd just like to mention that, I think that over the past few months your work is amazing, not to say that it wasn't amazing before, I think you have great ideas your a great inspiration to many, I really enjoy watching thank you so much.
I'm new to your channel and I've seen quite a few of your videos but this one is one of my favorites because of the grinder lift and how simple yet creative it is. Keep up the good work and I will keep gathering notes and tips from these projects.
LOVE how the grinder shelf comes out and up! Great job!
Thank you!
I love the lathe stand April and the fact it's portable will give you more flexibility and make cleaning behind it easier. The mixer lift idea is ingenious. I built a stand for my metalwork lathe and put my grinder at one end although mine is high speed for sharpening cobalt cutting tools. You have a wonderful way with wood I always look forward to your project. Darren
Really looking forward to seeing you build a work bench along the lines of the one in your Dads garage but specifically for your shop.
Looking at her early videos, when she first started woodworking, she tore out a permanent workbench that was already in her shop because of the valuable room it took.
An excellent lathe stand April, with a very useful use of space, love the mixer stand idea too.
Now all we need are a couple of turning projects :)
Cheers
Mike
April~ love your programs~ its great to see a lady involved in workshop work. I notice when you are driving screws in and other activities you often have your opposing hand in direct line of the other hand. You have to be careful for if you slip out of the screw head you can drive the tool piece into your hand or wrist....Hands and skin are soft and easily damaged.. I am 76 years of age and have worked with my hands most of my life... I have some 'nice' damaged marks !!! ( and forget the swearing !!) Keep making the programs...... Len Borrow Australia
Great idea to make it portable and it looks very good quality. I like your video with your calm voice, so thanks for your hard work.
love that smile.... shows your excitement over your work!
Wow April! I so love that mixer lift idea! I still have to build my lathe stand too. I'm getting tired of standing on blocks of wood to reach it (not safe either). I use the Wolverine sharpening jig so I can't use the lift with mine, but I sure love your ideas. Thanks for the inspiration. - Sharryn
Nice job, April. I just got a lathe about two months ago and I've been thinking long and hard about how I'm gonna do the table with the limited space I have. I love how you did the grinder and I think I'm yanking your idea you came up with lol
Probably no need to say but variable Task lighting, dustshields, and flexible portable high capacity dust collection a must in such a small location.
I really love the real beefed up build. Overkill can be a good thing! Plus the finished product looks great.
It makes me happy how stoked you get when things go well and work out. love your build videos,
Nice, April! Love the grinder lift. Having the grinder right there will make you a better turner, as you will stop and sharpen since it is so convenient.
Hi April, love your videos. My lathe stand is very similar to yours I used an old bathroom vanity that I changed out from my house love all the storage it gives me. Keep up the great work.
Wow cool build! Love the grinder lift and the step down castors too. Very impressive. Wish I had that set up.....
Nice functional build. Great presentation and no useless chatter or annoying music. Keep up the good work!
There's music in the background, it's just soft. : ) But I'm glad you don't find it annoying.
Very well thought out and constructed. Nice work.
I usually rate woodworking videos on whether I could reasonable replicate them (based mainly on materials), I certainly couldn't replicate this but it was so well thought out and built I can't help but stand back in admiration. Well done! You are starting to make difficult things look easy.
Hi April,
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think it is awesome seeing a woman working and making this like this, you should seriously consider approaching the Discovery Channel and see if they'll make a TV programme with you, I for one would watch, plus, more and more women will take up projects like you have done...
Many thanks for sharing your work with us...
All the best...
John...
Yet another amazing build. You looked super happy too making the bench.
This is really well thought out, especially the inclusion of the lifters for the grinder and the wheels.
Makes me wish I had a lathe
: ) Thank you. You could use the workbench for something else, it doesn't have to be for a lathe.
Thanks April, I like how clear your instructions were. pierre from New Mexico
The video is full of great ideas. Hot gluing the drawer fronts, etc. I'm getting ready to get my dad's old metal lathe, and this plan will be plenty strong for it. A timely video, since I've been trying to figure out a good sturdy design. Thanks for everything!
: ) No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice lathe stand April. Looking forward to seeing some turning project videos!
It's really amazing to see things come together. Nice work.
You got a good sponsor adviser.The real thing is here that the design is not made from experience but of need.
This project give a lot to think about just to keep the rumble wood chips out of your space your working in.
A work in progress you will find out in the future. But he we all are here to learn is it not ;-)
Good luck with your shop,the road is long, but nice to walk on.
Love the "Underground" t shirt April. Great video also this week. Jon from Windsor, UK
i've had the exact same idea for a few lesser used tool glad to see it works out so well prior to my own installation :)
Great stand. I'm sending you one of my shop stickers. All the best Jim
That is a really nice lathe stand and an AWESOME idea using the mixer brackets for the grinder, I already have ideas where to use those brackets elsewhere in my shop. I have read a lot of the comments and there are really good ideas and suggestions. The main suggestions are the safety ones, remove the rings, get a better dust mask, and use VERY good eye protection!!!!!!! I almost lost sight in my left eye from just wearing safety glasses when a chunk of wood came off of a bowl I was turning, Now I wear a heavy duty full face shield with built in respirator filters, uncomfortable yes and hot but better then going blind!!!!!!!!! one more quick suggestion, since your lathe is in the corner you will want to install plenty of light. I would hang a 4' light above the lathe and also mount a flexible light to shine on your work piece at different angles to see sanding scratches. I'm also a lot older then you and my eye sight is getting worse so I need more light but I would atleast use a flexible light
The rule with work benches is the heavier the better. Doubling up is always worth it. Especially on something like a wood lathe where things can vibrate a lot. There is no substitute for sheer weight. Love the grinder attachment!
I don't know what it is, but the "April wave" always makes me giggle with joy. :D I love your builds, it always impresses me how clever you are!
I love this especially the mixer lift! Amazing! hoping to see a lathe project now and get that dust of it lol keep up the great work
Awesome build! Thanks for the video...I'm totally going to build a similar stand for my 2x72 belt sander!
Excellent build. The add-on accessories are super awesome !
That is awesome. I think I'm going to remake mine that moves too much. I love the idea of the grinder lift. Myself and my 2 teenage shop helpers love watching your videos. You help the 12 year girl realize that women can be great woodworkers. Also one tip on getting more turning blanks is a lot of saw mills will sell the cut offs as firewood. We have gotten a lot walnut and cherry blanks that are anywhere from a few inches to 18" cubes.
Great job April! Keep up the quality content, greatly appreciated.
really like your work stand project. Saving it for when I set up my wood shop.
Nice job on the design....and the video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice. That pull out thing seems to work really well. Will build something similar if (when) I get a lathe. Thanks for the inspiration.
Those recessing brackets are totally awesome! I was just thinking about building a mechanism similar to those for some space saving features in my tiny shop. That's no on my amazon wish list. The table is a nice little build, my lathe is like the grand daddy of that little guy, about five and a half feet long, the table is a monster and I put in one gigantic storage drawer with heavy duty metal slides. It's not pretty, but it doesn't move either. I like those step down casters too!
excelente trabalho April e gostei muito do torno também abraço
That mixer stand is pure genius. Great build.
: ) Thanks!
Nice little details on this. Good job and love the workshop.
The explanations are refreshingly clear and detailed
Hi April.Thank you for sharing the Rite-Aid bracket idea. I'm downsizing my shop as I moved to Florida. This will really help. Have a great day!!
You have a good day as well. : )
Nice build. I like how you make it functional with a few finishing touches; trim, exposed dado fills etc without making it a piece of fine furniture lol.
