Thanks Leroy.

Geof, To move the Mills and Lathe I used a mobile Gantry with a chain block I picked up from Radum a few years back. It's rated to about 2 tom and has been brilliant. I couldn't have bought the steel to make one for the price I paid. Once lifted I put the mill on a pallet jack which is rated to about 3 ton (another bargain from Radum). On the pallet jack it's easy enough to wheel the Mill to where you need it and then lift it off at the other end with the gantry. A one man job to move a mill weighing about 1500KG.

Ted, I just happened to score a second hand shed fridge the other day. My wife may make me move out there if I buy any more machinery.

Cheers
