Hi Tim - welcome to HomemadeTools.net
Great first post! I'm moving this discussion into our main Homemade Tools subforum, so that we can get it added to our encyclopedia and credited to your name.
Got any details on the build?

timcruzen,
You have a very interesting design and build to your lathe. I also see you have a gear box behind the headstock for the lower speeds. Looking forward to seeing more about the homemade lathe. This is a great first post and sure to generate a lot of interest!
Thank you for sharing the photos,
Paul Jones

if there is interest, and I have other projects/ machines as well, I will share in the near future.
I am always interested in any machine that is DIY. Ideas, Ideas, IDEAS!!!
I have a 12" Craftsman lathe that I use all the time, The only problem I run into Is the 12" limit. I am trying to design me a 24" lathe with an 18" bed. You don't need it often, but when I do I wind up having to take the piece to a machine shop. When I tell them what I'm trying to make I often get the old "Thats never going to work" or a price that is so high I can't afford the project

Hi Tim
Welcome to home made tools, that's a very good workmanship, a lot of hours I'm sure, would love to know what intrigued you to build this machine, was it just something you wanted to do ?
Great work
Doug
