back in late 2016 I started watching the regular machinist youtubers (AvE, MrPete, Abom79, etc) and decided I really wanted to do that. then back in Nov 2017I decided I wanted a lathe and a mill. I started setting search alerts in craigslist and watching for auctions and all that fun stuff when in Feb 2018 this bad boy showed up and I knew I had to have it. A little bit of dealing and I ended up paying what the original owner (retired hobbyist downsizing) but he threw in a bandsaw and some tooling for a milling machine that I had plans to purchase but hadn't lined one up yet.
I cut my first chips on this lathe finally implementing the skills I've learned over the years prior only by watching the above youtubers.
Well, over the weekend while cutting a shaft for a table saw the motor decided to stop on me. I pulled it out, grabbed a nearly same size capacitor from another motor sitting in my shop and it would still only hum and pop the breaker. I found a replacement and it is on order.
That's the store of my Logan 1875 (so far more to come).
