Title: Snow comes in handy
Post by: Rob.Wilson on February 01, 2010, 01:39:34 PM

Hi Lads

Well i got another mill at the weekend , a Chester 626 , when i left to pick the mill up at 5:15 am Saturday , i found 5" of sown had fallen over night and it was snowing heavy , the first 50 miles , i was driving in a blizard , just my luck , i pressed on and picked up the mill , 630 mile round trip . come Sunday i had to get the mill out the van and 30 meters around the house and into the shop , as i had slid the mill off the stand into the van , i thought how good would it slide on snow , so i slid it down a ramp still on the coolant tray ,and around the house , easyest machine move ever , i just have to put it back together now .

Don't worry folks, I'm informed by Rob himself that no Huskies were injured or lost during the move  :lol:

Yeah, but what marvels will Rob come up with next now that he has this?

I mean it's not as if he was lacking any abilities without it  :dremel:

Neat getting the new mill, Rob.  Even better when nature provides a ready made trolley.

Have fun with the new toy, Rob.
