Default Cheap Bowl Lathe

How do you plan on keeping it upright? The holding bolt holes demand that
the ways be there to prevent lean.

My Idea of a cheap Bowl lathe.
Old Craftman monotube Lathe $10.00
Faceplates 4 inch disk $5.00 3 inch disk $0.00
above trued up drilled and tapped 3/4 16 tpi $0.00
Treadmill motor and controller $0.00

Total cost $15.00

I drilled and tappped the faceplates myself. trueing them up took a
litttle
while but they work.
I still have to make a freestanding toolrest but that may have to wait
until
it is a little warmer.
