Managed to move the Denford lathe across the shed to the other side. As it is very heavy (for a small lathe) and it now has the EMCO milling attachments fitted, which makes it a bit unstable, I pondered for a while on how to do it. In the end I cut eight six inch lengths of pipe and used them as rollers. My wife was not happy about having to keep placing them strategically, but I was the one with the crow bar. Never happy, women. I now have a similar problem to Andrew in that the headstock end is only a couple of inch from the wall. So I can't open the gear train cover or pass a bar through the headstock mandrel. But the plan is to move that particular wall a yard or so. Ah well, finished my coffee. Time to go out into the cold.
