I started on this project back in September.

After reading a thread by Dan (Sanddan) on another forum outlining his stand build for a 1340gt, I developed an interest in this particular machine and warmed up to the idea of building a custom stand. I really liked Dan's design and he was very helpful providing specifications, measurements, and direction.

Subsequent to some offline discussion with Dan and later with Mark (MKSJ) I ordered the machine in early October.

With Dan's direction on the stand and Mark's extensive knowledge on the machine and the electronics, I proceeded with confidence to build the stand and acquire the 1340gt. I actually started on the stand before ordering the lathe. Initially I hoped to have the stand complete before the machine arrived, but the timing didn't quite work out that way.

I began with +\- 45' of 2" square tube with 1/4" wall thickness. I cut most o the main frame of the stand based upon the dimensions provided by Dan.

Then I began welding the legs.

Then the main frame.

After the main frame was put together, then I started on the shelves.

That's it for now. I will post more in a little while to get up to the current level of progress.

The machine arrived stacked on top of an extra pallet just like everyone else here reported. I made sure to put some blocks under the edge of the crate so I could get the extra pallet out and my engine hoist legs underneath.

I pulled out the chip pan to check to see if it would fit.

what so you know, all of the dimensions Dan gave me were on the money!

At this point the stand was so heavy, I had to use the engine hoist to get it off the table and onto the ground and ready for paint.

This was the first time for it to sit on the ground. It seems to sit pretty square. Now to turn my shop area into a temporary paint room for the rattle can finish.

Now for the accessories for the receivers.

First is a simple work surface for the headstock end of the machine.

So far it has been a really fun and satisfying project. I still have a little left to go on the stand then on the the MKSJ portion of the project .... VFD and rewire. Electronics are not my strongpoint but I feel confident I can pull it off with the great instruction and encouragement provided by Mark.

I think your images may not be shared correctly. I see nothing but X's.
 
bss1: your pics didn't come through. Nothing but red 'X' marks instead of pics. Would love to see them, as I have been thinking about making my own stand for mine as well.
 
Sorry, I see the X's now that I am on a PC. The pics are on my phone and when I log in from there they show up. I will have to work on that this evening.
 
I've had luck transferring the phone pics to my laptop using the charge cord (USB) and then editing the size before posting.
Actually, it's the only way I know how to do it.:)
 
Sorry guys I can't get this to work tonight. I will have to try again tomorrow
 
Sweet setup!! The ERL-1340 footbrake prevents putting anything under it. I really wish I had drawers like those.
