Pic of the site for new shop. It's laid out for the footers and concrete. That should get poured in the next couple of days.

Loading Kent's 20 ft trailer. The tools are working very well. "slick and bubba" (wheeled skid and electric winch) are doing a great job.

Now that's a heavy tool Kent is stabilizing. My pantograph mill. Solid cast iron and steel. A Gorton Model A. Modified with modern electric motor, this 1895 machine is in perfect running order. I call it my 19th century laser cutter! Haha.

The shop is really opening up! Haven't seen it this empty in 32 years! pushingarock. Lots to load yet, but lots of progress already! I'd been trying to keep the shop usable for some projects. No more. Too much has now been loaded.

Progress!

Hello Rick.
Happy Day. I'll enjoy that state of events. Boy, this is a pretty serious task.
I look into the trailers and list the major machines we've loaded. Then I look at the shop and see the remainder. Whooh!! Still several trailers left.
We'll get it.
thumbs up
Kent's help loading - both his trailer and much of mine again, is a huge help. thanks so very much Kent. winking smiley

You produced all that work in that shop. That is hard to believe you had no room. The new place will be a great improvement for your body and mind.
