Thanks Greg,
It’s a nice small hobbyist’s lathe. One of those projects that sat for too many years before I could get to it. I found it unusual to set the drive wheel and head stock to the right hand side. When I tried to set it up to the left side the wheel would be in between the paddle and my push leg.
Sort of the reverse of a normal lathe set up but it is very easy to use and I quickly got used to it. I made the frame to a height that allows me to sit on a stool when working.
