Nice home brew lathe. Looks like it can do some serious turning and I like the "Delta" blue color.
Reminds me of a lathe my Dad made just prior to WWII. It was all wood. Heavy wood beams for the bed and heavier wood for the legs. Only metal was the spindle, pulleys and motor! When I was young I thought he was a genius. When I got older I knew he was.
