I have seen it done by extending the footprint with 3\4 boiler plate 4 x 3 foot ish , double the area halves the pressure on the floor .

The mill is in its new home, and just needs to be taken off blocks and shimmed level. The lathe is also in and living in a temporary spot, once my garden shed is up some more space will free up and the lathe will end up along one wall.
The shaper, grinder, and horizontal mill are in the corner for the time being, I'm not sure what the plan is for those machines. I'm almost certain the horizontal mill is going to be sold. Anybody interested?
Regarding the floor, I did some research and skimmed through an old army manual on cement floors. There are many people working on thinner floors than mine with much heavier equipment with no issues. I'll risk it.

OK no fair, :hammer: you show an old car but it doesn't get a mention. We (well Me anyway,) would like to know make, model and year. Both my brothers have old uns. Both Chevs one a 1926 restored as a ute like many of the farmers here in OZ did to their cars after upgrading to a newer model. The other a 1927, has been restored as the full car so I have a passing interest in the old things.

The car in question is a 1919 Ford Model T. It runs and drives, but needs some mechanical tlc and some bodywork. This car will be the star of its own thread at some point.
One of my brothers is slowly restoring a '54 Ford F100, and I drove a restored '72 Chevy Custom-20 for several years. Restoring vehicles is not easy, but it is extremely rewarding!
It sounds like your family has a nice collection of oldies!
SwarfnStuff:
Yeah, the younger brother (1926 ute) has also restored horse drawn gigs,n sulkies, also a 1956 (I think) Vauxhall that he takes on vintage rallies etc. His house is mostly furnished with antiques. IMHO nice to look at, uncomfortable to sit in. Grumpy Old Man speaking. :lol:
