I have just been helping via email, don't really like driving so have only been through once or twice.
The Beaver is a nice machine, bit smaller than my lathe but it is a sturdy animal.
The original setup on my lathe was a 6pos rear turret and a 4way toolpost at the front, both fully hydraulic indexing. They worked OK but I got hold of a turret from a Bullard lathe and converted that to servo and fitted it to the front instead of the toolpost. Having two turrets on the same slide made you have to really think about clearing things so in the end I removed both turrets and machined/fabricated a 12 position turret. That worked well but was a bit too cluttered so I then decided to make another turret, this time an 8 position VDI 30 one. That is what I have now and it works well.
Here is a vid of one of the first run of it.
