Thanks to GARY, STEVE, JOHN, MICHAEL B, PAUL, LARRY, MICHAEL H, BRAD AND CHIP who have replied to my question! I am looking forward to getting my set up completed.
The nature of my illness has left me weak and at times disorientated. The LOML says that is nothing new. I had kidney failure and Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle fibers resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents (myoglobin) into the bloodstream. Some of these are harmful to the kidney and frequently result in kidney damage. I was in the hospital and rehab center for two and a half months and now on Dialysis three times a week. The cause was brought about by several factors that got together and decided to party at my expense. Thanks to many prayers, good doctors and care givers, I am on the way back. It is so damn slow, but I am getting there.
I built a stand for my lathe and will mount a dust collection hood on the back side and my grinder (tool sharpening) will be just to the left of the lathe on my work bench. I will be turning pens and small bowls.
