Default I want to build a woodturning lathe

Shades of the Vertilathe!

To my mind, a lathe is more likely to be a drill press than the other
way around.

In my experience in building a lathe, a decent tailstock is much more
difficult to make than the bed, headstock or tool rest. Probably why
there are so many shop built bowl lathes yet so few spindle lathes.
