Here are a few pictures of my current project. It is a Logan 1825 which is the lathe I intend on making my keeper. A few months ago I posted some pictures of it after I got it home from the PO's place. It is coming along well so far. I really like the way it is setup with the QCGB, QCTP, and it has a clutch. Quite a bit of tooling came with it also.

Nice work so far! Looks great. Think about adding to the thread as you progress on your restoration. I put it on my watch list.
 
Yup, very pretty, love the two tone paint. Great job.
 
Nice work. I have the same model sans the nice paint - they're nice lathes.

Here are a couple more pictures of the progress. I cranked her up today and it sounded very smooth with no audible problems or concerns. I am very happy with it to this point. I cleaned the grease and junk off the cross slide and the tailstock. Next will be the disassembly, clean, paint, and install. I need to take some time and make sure everything works smooth on the slides and then I can get it dirty.

Nice looking paint job. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your project.
 
Ok, this rascal is done for now. I like the way it came together and how it performs. It is a very quiet and smooth lathe. The only thing I may do to the lathe is get into the motor compartment and do some real cleaning, scraping, and painting. I think I want to play some first. I also am cleaning the milling attachment I got along the way and want to see if it will fit without any modifications. It won't take long to figure that out, the fit I mean. It also has a hand collet closer and collets. I am not sure if all the pieces are there. Sorry for the bad lighting. Anyway, here she is!

Thought I would add a couple of before pictures too.

Looks really good. May as well have fun using it for a while. If there are no major issues, the motor box can wait for you to run the machine and get to know the feel of it and make adjustments for a while. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
