Power feed mod for the lathe

[Doc]

A project I have been meaning to do. Add a variable speed to my lathe. This will make it possible to adjust feed rate without stopping to change gears and being able to fine tune your feed to what you re turning.

Cool Doc,  I just found the speed control on Amazon for $14. Good for 5Amps I can use it on one of my projects. Nice work bud and presentation.
