Dave,
I assume that you want the countershaft to help get the spindle speed up. With that motor, what speed do you expect to get?

Alan,   top speed isn't the problem, the motor is capable of 10000 rpm.   It's low speed that will be the challenge.

The motor has a foot peddle rheostat, but it's touchy.    The countershaft will bring the speed down to something much slower when I need it, and I can always direct drive if I need to.

And seemingly making good progress on too :)  The faceplate also looks good Dave. Will items be glued to it or will there be other holding means?

It will have a set of threaded holes in concentric circles.    I have glue chucks already, those are really easy to make.
