Default Moving and hooking up some machine tools...

Hey Gunner,

Hard work and long hours, but isn't it nice to work in "clean shop"
like that, rather than in the muck and mire of a shop in production?!?

Looks like a hell of a job...and that's a double entendre!! And man
have you ever porked up since we had coffee way way back!! Thinking
about it, that WAS when you were in the midst of quite a lot of
personal turmoil's though, so I hope this is the "real" you and things
are getting better.

And where is the black Stetson?

Take care.

Brian Lawson,
Bothwell, Ontario.

Ive been a bit busy since the week before Thanksgiving, moving a
machine shop some 13 or so miles and into a bigger building.

32,000 square feet, 30 foot ceilings, and had all of its wiring
stolen, along with gutting all the sub panels etc.

Its been something of a project, with no days off since Thanksgiving
(until this weekend) and not being home since the weekend before that.


The shop is back in full production, though a couple machines are
still not fully conduited, running on temp cables. That will be done
in the next couple days.

Ill have some more detailed pictures of some of the machines, mostly
CNC lathes..(its interesting to watch one doing ID threading on a 20'
long chunk of pipe, 22" in diameter. You load them with a
forklift.....

Now I just got to figure out why the big 12 x 14 foot plasma cutter
table is giving me a "Y" axis servo alarm......
