I went to the Dr..
« on: December 07, 2021, 07:00:50 PM »
I had a serious itch but he couldn't help me so i visited the local old machine dungeon and low and behold i feel alot better.
Next week i`ll pick up my cure.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Well it`s 1940`s vintage and came off a Navy WW2 repair ship . After the ship was scrapped then my mate bought it and it's been sitting in the glorious machine storage dungeon for eons.
It's in fantastic shape but really dirty it's also complete and shows very little signs of wear almost to good to be true.
If you remember i passed the fantastic metal shear on to Oregon rock crusher . The main reasons i did that was A. lack of room and B. although this was a fantastic tool i'd hardly ever use it.
I do miss it but i'm really glad he got it.(i do have first dibs if he ever wants to see it so there's that.)
This new beasty is both a bit more space conscious and also something that i need and will use.  :08:

Jabber does love to tease us.
When I worked at Westinghouse in the late 70's many of the lathes and mills along with other machinery still had the US Navy tags with the ship names. Most were off of battleships and cruisers.
I also used to get all the machinery/industrial auction flyers and I drooled over the auctions of machinery being released from the strategic stockpiles. Brand new stuff stored since the 40's and 50's.

That is called having a bad day.
Here in Nevada those traffic control devices are called roundabouts. I have seen them called rotary up in New England but the wife has another name for them that I won't say. What do you call them in NZ?

Yes we call them roundabouts. This one occasionally tips trucks over that enter it too fast.

Well your timing is impeccable for sure as i just got back from tring to load it a 2nd time.
First time i`m thinking yeah i can do it.....NOT
2nd time i brought a mate thinking 2 blokes ... easypeasy.....NOT.
Going to try Friday if he can spare a guy and a fork lift.

Somehow the more i fiddle with it the heaver it gets?

You're going to have to join the forklift club yourself sooner than later.
