Nice.
The only problem with some of those machines, like a Bridgeport, is that it starts a crack-like habit of tooling purchases.

Thanks for all the kind feedback! I have been toying with the idea of some homemade cans...

It's a Logan 2555V, made in 1971 if I recall correctly.

That's trapper189's photo of his place. It looks like it may be a 'vette.

100%. Luckily the neighbor from which I procured it also supplied me with a LOT of tooling. It appeared to be nearly 8k worth of end mills, cutters, collets, indexers, etc. It was a nice score.

So how much for an oil change and tire rotation?

Very nice utility building. Enjoy.

I've been crawling around on the floor trying to get the transmission out of my wife's Mazda for the past two hours. I'm really envying your lift right now...

I really like the 1-10V dimming feature. They go from nice and dusky to holy-crap-I'm-burning. No shortage of light.
