My new lathe came yesterday about 3:30. The driver backed the truck up into the yard and got me about 30 feet closer to the entrance to the house that I needed. I then took all of the crating material off and got it ready for my "work crew." About 6PM the four of us got it off the pallet and onto two moving dollies. We used the plywood from the crate to move it over the grass and into the house and finally into the shop. I have attached a couple of pictures. I did use it this morning to buff a bowl but no shavings yet. Going out of town so I'll have to wait until Monday.
I want to thank Brent & Deb English and all the crew at Robust for making me this GREAT lathe. They do a great job and are easy to talk to and work with.
I guess I can no longer say, "If only I had a bigger and better lathe."
