New to me lathe

After several years of making plugs various ways other than with a standard lathe I finally found one that had a price I could justify. About 65 years old.
$50 later here it is, oh I did have to buy a belt and live center, but had a motor and pulley.
The trouble is, it has increased my production rate to the point where I may have to emerge from the mancave long before the fish get back.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
