I welded an extension onto the existing lathe bed to accommodate the slightly longer lathe. I have it aligned and leveled. It took me some practice to get proper geometry on my cutting tools. I think I've got a pretty decent finish now.

I think my next project will be a tailstock die holder. I still need to get a 4-jaw chuck, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I'll probably also order a set of change gears so I can do some threading, but, aside from some advice, I don't know of anything else I would need.
