One of the interesting "problems that I had with placing the lathe was that I had to lift it to mark out the holes for the mounting bolts etc. Being alone at home / on board I had to come up with something that did not put my back out .......so what do you do ??? First thing is to turn a little drum like a capstan out of a bit of aluminium and leave it in the chuck. then create a mounting point in the cabin roof to hang a couple of 400kg double blocks. Next step is to find the balance point of the lathe and hang the block and tackle stuff into place. Now this is the easy bit. Sling 3 turns around you DIY capstan and turn the lathe in low gear and just keep the line tight and it will lift itself. Easy really when you needs must there is always a way. ATB Michael |
