Wanted to get a bit more stability than I had with the 4 leg setup, & seeing as how I was going to move the lathe out for a motor swap, (picked up a Marathon Black Max for $65 used ), figured I'd see what I could do. Had a few pieces of 2x2 in 20" lengths, & a couple 55" or so to. Decided to weld the smaller ones to the existing bases & use some feet I already had. That worked out well enough, but thought I might as well fill the big hole with something useful. Picked up the tool box from Home Depot, closest thing I could find that would fit the way I set up the stand. Yup, coulda done things otherwise, but chose not to & make do with what's on hand. Think I spent around $210 for the new tool box including the drawer liner material. Wife even cut that up for me, gotta like that! Drawers are rated at 100lb ea too, there's a bonus. I'm satisfied (for now) & ready to start filling her up. Shoulda took pics along the way, I know, but oh well...............
