Got a mini-lathe for Christmas last year and needed something to put it on. Hundreds of spinning tops and mushrooms later, I’m pretty sure it was worth it. Here’s a couple other things from my lathe.

So, essentially, using this method, they were able to have the top part of the table rest on the outer side of the two planks, and the lower shelf’s weight is distributed to the plank that was cut into?
That’s it exactly. Adds the extra support without adding all the extra time of cutting that bit out of a 4x4. I could’ve just put a small piece to support the bottom, but this way all the weight is transferred to the ground.
Nailed it!
TIL! Thanks for the help, seriously! I love learning new things! Cheers! :-]
Screw it!
