Watch out. This lathe has NO lockout to prevent you from engaging
the half nuts and the longitudinal feed at the same time. If you
do this you *will* blow something up in the leadscrew drivetrain.

I may have mentioned this to you at some time in the past, it's
my standard "Star" lathe caveat.

You did spend some time on that, you even put down white sheets for the
pics. I need you here for a few weeks to take of some projects.

careful with your fingers on that one, don't let a cat in the room while
running.
