Can I use the aluminum from a pull down attic ladder?
Also, what size & type of motor is desired for the lathe? I just started reading the first two books.

That's probably extruded aluminum . Cast aluminum will work much better - think transmission housings , small engine blocks , and cast aluminum car wheels . Wheels are IMO the best source , it's usually cleaner than many other sources . A 1/3 hp 56 frame motor is a good choice .
