I have had a recurrence of an old injury and am not into lifting the 10
inch chuck on the Graziano for a while, so need to build a carrier to
facilitate regular changes to collet use.
I saw one long ago that attached to the machine and swung the chuck out of
the way but don't remember the details of construction.

Here's a couple of pics of the crane I made from 1" steel tubing. The winch
is the type used to pull small boats on to trailers and has 3/16" steel
cable (wire rope). It swings to the side and has enough cable to reach the
floor.
The crane is removable, it sits in a tube socket bolted to the back of the
carriage where a follow rest normally is attached.
