Thank you all for your comments 
Ken - I am truly flattered and glad the time in your workshop has not been lost.
Tom - not too long now but I'm not going to rush it. Once I put the spindle bearings in the head can go back together. The knee, saddle and table still need to be assembled.
Ed - I've realized that threading on the lathe doesn't really take all that much more time single pointing that when trying to use a die. Setting up the change gears is the time consuming part!
Steve - I value your comments (as I do all comments), so please keep them coming.
