Nice project!!

Do you already know what VFD you will be using? ;)
I've got one on the shelf already I'll be posting pictures of once I get caught up. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with an overhead system like the era of the lathe, or just keep it simple for now. I'm planning on building a steam engine soon that will eventually be used on the lathe.
 
Overhead system would be very period correct. Can’t wait for the next photos!
