A shed in turmoil.

<< < (3/3)

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.

Dave.

Good luck and it is cold out there. I have put a requisition order for some fingerless gloves..
