blister, that looks a very nice lathe, and the stand looks as though it was part of the original set up, unlike me, i have a nice new lathe but no tools yet untill the weekend, well done smashing =D>
 
OK! You have a realy fancy lathe, a seemingly endless supply of wood, every tool that you could possibly need, plus some you may not, let's see the masterpieces come rolling off. I expect to see a thread...' The Obsession continues Mk 2 :mrgreen:

Seriously, I am so glad it all works now. Enjoy!!

At first glance , it looks more like a pub game - puts my old Wadkin to shame, it looks more than capable though - enjoy !

Hi Blister

Only just checked out your recent purchase - a Euro 2000 - congratulations and welcome to turning without belts (only useful for keeping your trousers up :lol: ). The only problem with direct drive is that it makes you lazy when working on other variable speed lathes with belts - you just don't remember there are pulleys and a belt to change :!: .
