• Thank you Dennis! 
  
  I have been advised that the South Bend book is excellent.

• The Myford lathes aren't that common in the USA, so it's great you got the important lathe tooling in your package: steady rest, 4 jaw chuck, face plate, etc.  I think you have spindle collets and a milling attachment as well. It's great you started with such a rich selection of tooling as it can get expensive quickly.
  
  I had to look-up the tiny Rusnok milling machine.  Never even seen one of those online before.

• It appears Gil, that you'll not be needing to get much in the way of accessories nor tooling for your new lathe and mill, and perhaps not much in the way of stock materials to begin working with them either!

• Hi Daniel, I believe you're right. 
  
  More than enough to keep me busy learning.
