Everything gets blown clear and vacuumed

This is a belt driven lathe. So, during clean up, check the belt for wear and replace if necessary. One of these days I am going to replace it with a link belt to reduce vibration, but for now it is in good shape. Everything gets blown clear of dust.

One of the things I like to do with benches and such, is have electricity readily available so I put power cords on most benches. Each cord should have its own breaker for safety and convenience.

This lathe bench moves so it is moved out from the wall and everything is swept and vacuumed. That clamp holds a block that in turn holds a lamp. In theory the block is easily moved to position the lamp wherever needed, but I do not recall the last time this was actually done.

Here we have a tray and drip station that normally lives on the end of the lathe bed. Small items that have been dipped in a mixture of vegetable and mineral oils are placed here to drip dry. In theory these oils do not harden but they have congealed to a gelatinous mess filled with dust and shavings. Serious correction of the situation is needed.
