    I'm guessing it's a home-made lathe.

    Looks home-made to me too.

    The faceplate intrigues me, though. Are those threaded rods captive (ie. freewheeling) or tapped into those brackets? From the pix they don't appear to be captive.

    If they were they'd be handy for an independant jaw set, but if not... well... I can't see any real reason for them. They make no sense structurally to me.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
