Our company’s 10 year lease is up and the business park has offered us a smaller building as our much larger $billion neighbour wants our building, so they’ve made us a very generous offer.

Turns out we can’t fit everything in, so the workshop is being culled, which means I’ve just ‘acquired’ this:

Current plan is the company still own it and I just do the occasional bit of work for them if they need it doing. Will fit nicely in the new workshop:

you’ll have to take the door frame out to fit it through 😉

It will have to be stripped down to be moved….

Good luck. My lathe is nearly half that size and without any of the milling bits and it took two of us to shove, slide and force it into my workshop.

To help you commission it, would you make me a couple of small stainless spacers please?

That workshop is far too clean, more like a doctors surgery.

Yes, I’m thinking I’ll have to strip it right down, hire a transit and then cart each bit in a wheel barrow the 60m from the front of the house to the workshop and then re-assemble it all, probably a WE project in it’s own right!

Once in place I’ll be taking small commissions…

A new drop out is also on the list….
