The problem is making the first headstock spindle without another
lathe. Once you have it you can machine a better one.

In my case someone would likely offer me a good lathe cheap *after*
seeing the one I struggled to make.

I wouldn't attempt this without access to another lathe, unless someone made
it a group or club project and made the necessary machined parts available
for a reasonable price.
