well , I finally went and bought a machine tool for home, I found a nice
little Monarch

16 CY , circa 1945 with flame hardened ways , it has a non working trionics
dro



to move it I rented a lift deck 6x 10 trailer from sunbelt rentals , the
deck lifts and lowers via hydraulics , I also made some angle iron frames
with 8 inch casters to put under the headstock and tailstock , worked really
well , I could push the 3500lb lathe
around the garage without difficulty,


Now , to get thaty electric service to the garage and a rotary three phase
converter.....

I for one am looking forward to the continuing saga of your lathe
coming on line.

Any pictures of the addition to the family? ;)

TMT
