A few questions spring to mind immediately- are you planning on
casting this yourself out of metal, or building out of wood?


Most of the home-built and mfgr'd short-run lathes like One-Way are fabricated
from welded steel.


That'd be what I'd assume for the legs and case- but are the headstock
mount, the tailstock and the ways welded steel as well? (It's a
serious question, I've seen a One-Way, but wasn't really looking at
those particular parts.)
