And as mentioned -definitely take pics of the disassembly. I referred to my pics many times when reassembling.
Some tense moments but a very good day. No injuries, nothing broken, and the lathe components in the desired location.
For the record - we did not attempt to use that puny hook but we both thought about YouTube videos where folks use things which are totally inadequate - and then they post the video of the failure.
I would not be so eager to post videos of my failures.
My first interaction with a Sheldon lathe. Built like a tank comes to mind, especially the chip pan and stand. If only the manufacturer had not welded the chip pan to the stand so well the move would have been a lot easier.
A good second life ahead for this lathe.
