Motor turned up from arceuro today. I'm getting closer now. I'm hoping to borrow an engine lift this week to get my machines on to their stands..at near 400Kg each I struggle a bit to lift them :)

Excellent, looking forward to seeing the progress in pictorial splendour ;)

400Kg, thats approx the weight of the saddle and crosslide on my lathe ;)

I'm getting closer. I've got the borrow of an engine hoist on Monday. So my machines can finally be put on their stands and I could even destroy some perfectly good bits of metal with them.  Handles have been sent back so don't know how long they'll be to get back to me. I'll have to get some pics done...Maybe tomorrow when I finish painting my frames.

easy enough, just make sure they are not too large then use the full reply page and additional options button and browse to the location of the pics on your hard drive.
