Followup on the giant maching
 

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a message about a huge machine that I
bought for scrap.

http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Snyder-Machine/

I thought that I would follow up.

It took 2x as long as I expected, to disassemble it, load on the truck
and take t scrap yard. However, despite dire warnings, everything went
smoothly with no accidents or big troubles. We used up about six fire
extinguishers.

After I got all the weights, the machine weighed 53 tons, out of which
50 tons was steel/cast iron, and 3 tons were motors and copper wire
and miscellaneous parts to be sold as usable.

What did it cost, how many hours did it take, and what did you make
from the scrap? (If I may ask.)

Larry, I do not want to pake it public, for obvious reasons. But it
did work out well.

Did you ever figure out what is used to manufacture?

Well, there are GOOD REASONS to take big new projects slow, and get it
done without major oopses.

Well done!

I agree, one oops can destroy everything.

Thanks

THAT was certainly "young-man work"! So, Advil or Aleve?

No, but, I did not sleep well two nights during that time. One, when I
was worried that there was no weight that I anticipated. Another
night, when I was worried that my forklifts were not enough.

Yes, like if you would have sold a semi truck load of your brushes,
prepaid.
