I am new

I just aquired an Atlas metal lathe man around 1940 to 1950. Runs great have turned some brass butt caps for knives with the previous owners help. The questions I have are:
1) Is there a tool rest made for turning wood and if so where can I find one?
2) I was told the the part that engages the auto drive (I think that is what it is called) is missing where can I find one?
3) I would like to bore some damascus what drill bit would you suggest? I use a paddle bit when I drill holes for knife handles but the bits are shorter than standard drill bits.

Thank you for your help William
