Looks great. The 101 is taking shape to. Looks like you will have a couple of nice lathes soon.

 
well, the ways on the 101 are poor. Have some machinable epoxy here..may just cowboy the back side of the back way with it. Cannot make it worse....lol. or can I...
I told my Son I would give it to him when I am done. :D
 
Depending on your 'way' issue, have you heard of or considered 'Moglice'?

Cheers,
Chazz

 
Congrats on the new lathe Speedy....its look nice and right at home on that bench!!
