A brilliant work, as usual. No use gathering parts you will never use, if one day you need a press you'll build one with a hydraulic jack. A saw blade is useful, but you can use one in the chuck, carefully of course as you won't have any protection.
Now 2 silly questions :
- have you protected unpainted parts with a thin layer of oil?
- Where will you set the switch ? stopping the lathe in an emergency is less important than with a metal lathe, but sometimes...
