Don't tell me, you Consider the Red Green show to be a Religion? LOL

Heh.. I have seen that show a few times and it has always made me laugh
out loud.

I'd move it, but you'd have to pay for gas and ferry to get me there
and back! What's your guess on its weight?

Oh, I'd gladly pay more than that. I'm looking at a 24' truck with lift
gate -- gotta see how much that lift gate can lift. If not enough (and
I expect it won't be) I might just take you up on that!

Weight is 3,000 lbs for the lathe. The other tools are all sub-1000
pounders and, hence, no problem even for the lift gate thang.

Jeez, I kinda dread this move. What an ordeal. But the end result will
be worth it..

Well, I usually charge $50/hour for me and the truck (plus ferry but
fuel is included) I can lift 7,000 lbs up close and I'm not sure what
the knuckle boom can lift 20' out, but if I can get close enough to
your equipment I should be able to pick and set it on a truck
easily... if you're not moving too far, we could strap them all to my
truck and make moving IN at the new place a breeze....

Think of it as being a patron of the arts since I'm just trying to
help pay for the truck that moves my sculpture around...
