I am very into engineering, so using a phone is not familiar to me, whereas late nights in the garage are!
Mostly I use the lathe for model locomotives in '009' scale, scratch building them in brass and copper (With steel and aluminium thrown in).
The frame and second flat belt pulley I made for this lathe too, welding 1 inch x1 inch mild steel tube together and the pulley cast in aluminium from an old Volvo amazon 120 and turned down.
