Ya its so cheap if you have some tools and a mower ( comparative to mini sprints or what have you .) Good excuse to hang in the shop with you buddys to :)
I know it's trivial but cross slide is going across bed of lathe. Top slide or compound slide is the one your changing angles with. If things are moving around, first, adjust gib strips then, find the saddle lock . If you don't have one, make one It would have been a more rigid set up if you had cut outer angle first. Centre drill is really for 60 degree centre, for drilling, a short 'spotting drill' should be used but very few people actually use them (me included) At least your shop is closer to reality of hobby shop where you want to get something done and may have limited time - BSA, (bits stuck anywhere)
Nice build. Looks like a fun time racing.

Spring loaded center's are great for tapping on the lathe.
Good idea , i will look into that .

Good points , thank you :)
They should race to see which can cut grass faster. If they just race on pavement without blades, they're not lawnmowers
Hahaha , can you imagin the carnage that would follow ,..... i would buy a ticket :)
