For $100, and a little elbow grease, that looks like a deal to me. Nice looking vise.

Hey schor, some more great time lapse vids! Pretty slick loading. In the "part 1" vid how did you initially get the mill off the ground to start the blocking process(before building the pallet)? Also enjoyed the sound track, who is it? I assume the trailer ride went smoothly, but that did look like the mill maxed it out.

Using the crow bar, lifting the machine about 3/4" each time on the front then to the back, back to the front, ....

The credits show who did the music. It's FatCaps by Jason Shaw audionautix.com.
 
Got most of the siding on, still need to do the back gable ends and some battens. Be glad to get it done, getting to cold for outside work.

What does the link look like at the top that holds the two pieces of wood together? I assume those are 4x4's, right? What was the length of the legs? I could see from the first video that the top of the "tripod" was angled backward rather than directly over the center, where it could tilt forward. What kept the bottoms of the 4x4's from skidding out toward the back of the car?
 
It's square tube cut to the proper angle and welded to a plate, a hole and an eyebolt in the center and yes 4x4's. Friction keeps the 4x4's from skidding out, if you look closely, the strap holding the legs from splaying out is not even under tension.

The next video of unloading the mill (sometime next week as I am gone to Colorado for business) will have more detailed shots of the rigging.

Thanks. I look forward to the next installment with the detailed shots of the rigging.

This is just a "curious" question. Is there a particular reason the shed was built before the floor was poured? Here in Australia most sheds (that I have seen built) that are going to have concrete floors, usually the floor is formed up and poured before the shed is built. With the frame then anchored to the concrete.
