My lathe setup...

[khunter]

Here's my lathe setup, I made the box and drawer, the motor is just a sewing machine motor with pedal, but it's adjustable for tension on a dovetail mount. It's a Boley clone but in decent shape, and I have a Marshall cross slide and a decent amount of collets and gravers.

That's a nice set up. One thing that might help. When you are working and the light is on sometimes the lathe bed shines, a piece of paper can blot the shine out making it easer to work.

Yes I usually use a post-it note on the bed or rest slide, it gives a nice contrast to see the part I'm working on too.
