What’s on your lathe?

Coming along now . Made this piece to put piece on lathe so could straighten out hole to insert a foot to turn the other side.
I used hot melt glue to hold on to a larger piece of plywood cause my Cole jaws were too small to grab the piece.
Stay tune for the finished piece lol

Every bowl is taking forever to turn since I got my new lathe. I keep stopping to alter/improve my tooling to better adapt to the Vicmarc.

Rough turned a Maple burl......(I'm standing back aways so that you can see the entire setup...Here, the headstock is swiveled about 15° for easier access to the interior.)

Odie, the more I look the less I understand what I'm seeing. I recognize the lathe and the steady... And then there seems to be a million tubes, attachments and accessories attached to the lathe which I'm a bit unclear on.

What all am I looking at?
