Looks good. I'm thinking that it is 'bout 2 feet to short. For those of us that really have fun it should probably reach the ceiling

no neat sig line

Looks nice but, as Larry said it is a bit small. Put something behind the lathe that will block the wall or it is going to get pretty dirty above that. The ONLY shields I have ever seen that are truly effective are complete enclosures.

Of course if you really want to impress us you will show us pix of the belt guard you are going to make to fit on the headstock

Did you use aluminum or steel?

I have to build one for my new lathe so it's great to see an example of one home built.
