It's away better than what I used to lift the lathe onto its stand.

Turnaround, good bit of improvisation there, you not been sneeking a view into my place have you .....  :lol:

  Yeah you could say that.  Some weeks I morph into this mad metal melting creature.  Just depends whats on the to do list and what work throws at me.

Ah yes Turnaround that brown stuff.  Too bad they dont normally grow in 8 x 4 sheet form, cause this glorified ply I use can be sod to cut cleanly.

The rotisserie can lift straight out of its pivet and out of the way easily.  To stop it from spinning uncontrollably I have welded angle iron to the pivets and made some pins to lock things in place in various positions.  To be honest it will probably be used more as a table than anything else.

From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".
