Let's See Your Lathe

[Mayhem]

Well that definitely deserves one of these:



That looks like a nice lathe and should clean up very nicely.  Best part is you can run your small lathe whilst getting this one up and running.  Then you can sell the old one and put the money towards more tooling or a mill.

Also - never worry about posting pics of projects, no matter what standard you think they are.  I've posted some of the quick and dirty parts I have made to fix something with and some are downright uglier than a hat full of busted arse holes!
