nice lathe work!

beautiful build +1

looks great!!

very nice project! It seems to me that there are many projects on building cutterheads, but very little on building a proper overhead lathe.

Nice! I am still reading a lot and thinking about how to build my first real DIY lathe, seems like a good starter for a overhead design, thanks!

Hello cutters! I am searching for a first machine to cut/emboss with. The lathe lead screw mechanism and cutter head would be most important, I don't necessarily need a complete lathe with platter, etc. at the moment since I would use one of my record players for that. I am not afraid of crafting if...

I have some questions referring to the issues mentioned in this thread, but as it already is quite long and discusses...
