My other thrift store find was this Chinese wood lathe. It came with the legs and adapter plates but no nuts, no leg braces, no tool rest, and no chuck. Well, I got the nuts and some wood, so lets feel up some legs.

A few tubafors, 40 pocket hole screws, and a couple of hours later I have this. I know, probably excessive on the pocket holes, but it's mine so piss off. Still need bolts to mount it. Still need to sand and stain it (matching the legs with black stain). Also going to add some planks on top to make a tool tray shelf.

Yaeh guy I worked for came out to do the chicken house doors, he had got a pocket jig and wanted to use it. By the time he figured it out I had screwed the rest of the door. I mean it wasnt furniture or anything. What kinda jig you got?
