The wood floor is not the best foundation but we can work with it. I put the larger feet on it when we got the lathe.
Let’s level it and then keep an eye on it. If it is “sinking” into the floor we might want to put each foot on a steel pad (maybe 3/8" thick, 6"x6").
We should try and borrow an accurate level (or buy one).
