New Toy Has Arrived!

[Bob Tucker]

I'm beginning to realise just how old I am when I have to enter my DOB online.

It takes 5 minutes and two whole pages to scroll to my birth year..........

Probably 'cause the stone tablets are getting a mite heavy at your age.

Not yet sure if this is the final resting place, but after nearly 3 hrs with a bar and engine crane, my body can take no more tonight!!!

 

If I can pluck up the strength, I may swivel her further around into the corner.....but it will do for now

Sorry Steamer but I've only just realised that John still building gave me some,very heavyweight dollies that would easily support that machine.

If you want to move it again, let me know and I can see about getting them to you.

They would easily carry 10 ton. Made from about 8mm angle and well put together. Even the wheels are heavyweight.

You would need to be able to lift it on and off them though.

Put a spread of sand on the floor -- will help it slide.

I had the chance of a job on a lathe when I left school.....but I turned it down (boom boom)

[richardm6994]

I don't mind lathe jobs......except when it involves drilling......that's boring (back at ya!)

30 people turned up for the interview and there were no chairs! I quickly got fed up with the milling around

So it makes ice cream then? Looks like it should
