What kind of lathe do you have? I have a Jet mini and my husband has a 1950 something South Bend that he rebuilt.

It is a Harbor Freight 34706, which is almost an exact copy of the Jet 1236, at about 1/5 the cost. For being a HF item, I was very impressed with the fit and finish. Added two sheets of MDF for a shelf, and going to have a bin with 50lbs of sand in it along with the accessories until I decide to build something. Hoping I get some gift cards for Father's Day, so I can get a good set of chisels.
