Got a tiny Craftsman lathe. What do I have here?

Could make a new spindle by turning between centers if the bed is long enough. The center in the spindle can be recut to remove any wobble.

"GAVE". That means a lot. These lathes can be a lot of fun, even with a bent spindle. You can make another one, but it is an advanced project. Looks good. Don't push it too hard. I ran mine with a loose belt to avoid mishaps. It took a lot of patience.
 
This one seems to run true. I’ll probably never overload it, since I have a 15” lathe for bigger projects.
