Before you make a big mistake, check out everything and use good judgment. I do not mean to insult anyone. This comes from experience, when altering anything, you change the flow and we over look things that will bit you in the a** before you know it. If your knowledge of metal comes from a how to book, I would say to read more. When designing anything if you look at the way it is commonly done, it's for a reason. Overcoming that reason may be a good thing, but if no one else has tried it that way, there must be a real reason. I will leave you with this one thought, when altering a set of plan, when you come to the point that there is something wrong. You will get disgusted and will more than not just have something for the junk pile.
My $0.02 but give it a lot of thought

I am starting the gingery lathe, but, think that I would want to do a
deviation. I am thinking of using a I beam for the bed and wanted to know do I need to have the bed and ways scraped beore making the patterns for head stock and carriage? seems to me the casting would be needing so much work that I could just fit everthing up, then do the casting and scraping.
any and all advice is needed and appreciated.
thanks
jim
