I've have been tempted to assemble it horizontally on the floor and then
use a pulley to hoist it vertical, but maybe with at least one more guy
to help. Hmmmm, this sounds like good justification for a chain-hoist
installation: "Honey, it's for safety, you want us to be safe, right?"


I thought about assembling it with it laying down but the base being on
the larger platform and it being on the wider mobile base seemed to
present possible problems.


I did mine horizontally with no problems... different press and different
base though.


I figured that the mobile base would handle the 238 lbs better in its normal
operating position rather than on its side.



It was a fun post. Next time though, use a few line feeds... they are
cheap and are easier on these old eyes...
