When Henrietta left her last home, she was lifted from a pedestal of furniture dollies by chain to my awaiting trailer by forklift.
that was to be the easiest part of the journey to her current resting spot. Before receiving Henrietta,
i had a little better than 2 days to hear quite a few of my friends and family about how this mission should be aborted, and what was i thinking:nuts: . I traded a perfectly working lathe for another non working lathe, that hasn't worked in decades possibly.
This is when i new it was for the love of the machine and complete confidence in myself to achieve any end.
Hi Mike,
I said I was going to read your old posts. Remember what Edison said" Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration "
I think your there, I once looked a The Monarche 10EE lathe and they told me the weight estimate was 3400 lbs !!!( My posrche weighted less
than that with me in it) Your on the right track !
Good luck................Kerry
