One thought that might help with aligning your subjects.
If you get hold on a cheap laser (I've seen them for a couple of quid at boot sales) & can engineer a mount for it to replace your camera on the bellows (it will have to be properly centralised/parallel but with a lathe that shouldn't be a broblem) you should get a nice red dot shining at the centre of the field of view.
Align subject, mount camera in place of laser & you just have to focus.
