I got a call from the freight terminal this morning informing me that my Lathe had arrived... So, I drove down to pick it up today.
Everything was in good condition, and they did a great job loading into the back of my truck, even though the facilities there weren't really set up to do so... They had me back up to one of the loading docks, then used a forklift with extra long forks to lower the crate into my truck.
After driving home, I backed into my shop and lifted the crate off-
Oooh- That's pretty... Everything arrived in great shape.
A short time (and a few choice words) later it was on the stand-
I still need to bolt it down, but I had to quit for tonight... Hopefully I'll get it done in the morning so I can get going.
I can't wait to start using it!
