Hello  Marcel.   Happy new year to you too.

Your lathe looks really good.  The black hand wheels and blue paint.   I cannot quite see how you have connected the feed motor to the shaft.   Would like to see a few photo's from different angles  please.  I have not done anything to mine yet.  It is still buried under stuff in my garage. Still need to finish my Round Bed Drummond which is about 75% complete.  Mainly needs a motor mount and counter shaft making.  I have a 1/3rd HP motor for it.  Warmer weather will get me back into the garage,  Doing indoor projects just now

Best wishes, Alan.
