Yep I retired last Thursday, my wife's 65 birthday was the next day and on Saturday, while pursing CL's, I saw a 1947 (same year as my birth year) well tooled Logan 820 lathe for sale 3 hours east of me and 5 hours later I was heading home with it in the back of my wife's Honda CRV. And on Sunday I bought 7 used hammers of CL's which included a solid brass and a solid copper hammer. So what a way to start retirement!
I have been planning my metal working retirement hobby for about 3 years and purchased a basket case Logan 200 lathe which is missing a tail stock screw, a 1944 Burke horizontal end mill with a vertical attachment, old solid iron Delta 14” drill press, Dunlap power hack saw and a used 20 ton HF press. I plan on making the missing Logan 200 tail stock screw as my first lathe project and then selling it as no space for 2 lathes.
Also ran 100 amp panel to my 10' x 14' wood shed workshop and plan on insulating/paneling this winter.
Will be starting a new thread for my 820 as I want to clean it up some and make sure everything is in fairly good working condition. The only broken thing so far is one of the low speed gears so I will be having a steep learning curve for the lathe and end mill.
