On Saturday, Wade returned with furniture dollies, an engine hoist, lifting straps and a plan...
First we got the lathe on to furniture dollies so we could move it easily.
Then my better half, Jen, swept up the mess we had made...
Jen sweeping and Wade supervising.
That's me on the left, and Wade on the right, preparing to lift the lathe.
The lathe, strapped up and suspended.

Jen caulked up the areas where the coolant could leak from the chip pan onto the floor...
Wade and Jen doing the alignment of bolt holes between the lathe and the stand...
Me, cleaning up all the hand prints and starting to remove the cosmoline...
Putting the splash guard back in place...
The wiring for the coolant pump...
Final position and almost ready to go..
