Repurpose old desk - suggestions/warnings/tips?

[stuckinthemud]

I have acquired an old school-teacher’s desk - pretty large at over 5’ by 3’, decent hardwood top over drawers on 10” legs. No photo as I had to partially and drastically disassemble it to get home ( but nothing that isn’t easily fixed). Anyway, I have little idea what to do with it. Can I use it within a workbench design, Or as a base for my lathe, or ? My ‘workshop’ is a single garage, my bench is a door fixed to a wall on four legs.

Using it as a base for a lathe is what I would do with it. Must have drawers with it which is a bonus. Time to make a new bench!
