Building on a lathe idea

[m_c]

It's not costing the freight companies though.

Anyway, anybody want to design a lathe for me?
Just when I think I've got something worked out, I realise I've made a complete a$$e off something else.
I'm currently sat looking at my cross slide assembly, which is looking quite good, with the carriage shaped nicely to give enough height to fit the ballscrew in with support for the linear rail trucks, and how the f*££$*£g trucks stick out an inch past the edge of the cross slide. I can't belief I've only just noticed. Where's that head banging smilie when you need it?

Any chance of some screenshots of the CAD or a video walk around? Sounds like an interesting project.

I know from my own projects that when you are developing something new there are always going to be issues along the way!
