Nice job, krv. Why do they supply lathes without leadscrew handles? My WM180 came like that, and adding a handle was the first thing I did to it. It won't be long before you want to add some sort of dial.
Looking at your last photo, I hope you didn't make my elementary mistake of using a handwheel so big that I couldn't slide the tailstock off because its clamp plate fouled the wheel
