    mini metal lathe -- tool post for woodturning

    I just purchased a used Clarke 7x14 mini metal lathe. It appears to be one made by the same company that makes the Grizzly and/or Harbor Freight.

    I'm going to take some training from a Machinist on it ... have zero experience! Just finished reading O'Brien's "How to run a lathe ..."

    I do woodturning ... therefore I would like to have a tool post for it to allow me to be set up - when not doing metal -- as a station to turn pens using my EWT carbide cutters. Has anyone made a tool post for this size lathe?

    Thanks
