Is that one of those French, removable blade framebacks? Nice work on the scales.

That big craftsman, my first lathe, 60$ used, is the one I pulled out to make more bench room. It was ok, powerful and a tight spindle but I hate the tubular bed design. Center to center would drift all the time if you moved the tail stock. Only a few thou, but enough to bug me over time.
Kept it on the bench for guests and spindles, which I never make, so into the corner it goes.
Keep it for big bowl face turning if I get the chance, but that's about it..
This taig, now that I look at it I'm thinking I can maybe mount it right on top of one of the roller tool boxes, rearrange some tools and dedicate the upper drawers for machining bits..
Semi portable and easy to cover up when not in use. Keep the dust off it..

I thought that was well aimed spit coolant, best brand going, very portable and a lifetime supply..

It is small enough you likely could make a box style cover for it as well, that way you don't loose another horizontal surface to pile stuff on.

Toss a towel over it, for Christ's sake! Its a nasty girlfriend!
