Project Woodturning Lathe

I'm new here, after being notified that the place exists on my youtube account, and I'm just going to say, this is one Awesome website, and yet another forum I'm a member of.

For my college project (HNC) I decided to build a woodturning lathe from scratch, no easy task, I finally finished at the beginning of the month and here's the video of the first test:

everyone else seems to have written quite a lot here, instead I hope it's OK to post a link to the material on my DeviantArt account:
