I do mechanical special effects, welding and fabricating stuff to make things go bump in the night!Agreed!
Frankly I was surprised to hear that move sets needed lathes and a milling machine to support the shoot!

Nice touch mitering the bench corners to be people friendly.I built a separate “Back Bench”.
Did you screw into the bench top to hold the lathe down?I decided to go with this for now.
I have a table behind my machines as well, and love it. Only thing different is I try not to put tool boxes on tables. When you have stuff on the table you can't open the drawers without moving it out of the way first. If you don't have anywhere else to put them you can build risers that will raise them high enough to have the bottom drawer clear a spray can, or drinking cup. It also gives you more storage space.I took a different approach.

It houses all of my related lathe and mill tool boxes and accessories.
It is very handy to have a work surface so close.
I just turn 180 degrees and I am there .
