Shop Rearranging - I Wonder If A 5000lb+ Lathe Will Give Me A Hernia ..?
I think this is the 6th rearrangement.......
Moving the Oliver 20c is not easy to move by yourself......:
Where it was:
I took a 5' 2x6 and leveraged it under the dollies...and pried it up moving it 3-6" then rearranged the wheels to get them in the write direction. Moving things around, changing their placement ....obstacles in the way , not much room .....ahhhh......it is what it is...
Where it is now:
My shop is in disarray and I'm working in squalor ....what fun.......
I am building a new miter table/work bench where the Oliver sat....I disassembled the prior miter/router station a built ....I wasn't happy with it....worked great but I got tired of constantly moving it around.....auxiliary supports ....etc..etc...etc...
Also....
New electrics ...all my 3ph machinery (which is most of it) is on now.....just a simple start and I'm off and running...
I'll finish the finish work on the wall behind the lathe and paint it ...
I need to get the miter table/work bench finished.....as I picked a time of a busy work schedual.........such is me........
I just could not take it anymore......
You guys find yourself wanting to change things in your shop from time to time.
Which leads to what I am up to.....
