The Lathe is moving!!!

Today Alison's dad helped me move the lathe. We started by building a platform to over the lathe. We used the window sill on the far side to rest it on. We then levered the lathe head up onto wooden blocks above the cabinet, we then tied it in this position with webbing and removed the wooden blocks so it hung in the air. We then slid the cabinet out and took it to the summer house / shed on the trolley.

We lowered the lathe down onto the trolley using the webbing and rolled this out to the shed using ramps that Vincent constructed to get it up onto the decking and then down onto the grass, then up again into the shed.

Finally at the shed with the lathe on the trolley which sank into the grass. Now all we have to do is get the 200kg chunk back onto the cabinet! But that is tomorrows job.
