The cherry picker, Sam. Technically it’s an engine hoist, used for lifting the engine out of a car to replace it or rebuild it.
Justin didn’t film that part because he was afraid he would lose the lathe and didn’t want that memorialized if it killed it.
He put straps around the lathe, hooked the straps to the bar on the hoist, then jacked it up with a hydraulic jack at the rear. The long bar lifted the lathe then Justin slid the bench he made underneath it. After lowering the lathe onto the bench, he removed the straps and the hoist. After bolting down the lathe to the bench, he used a pallet jack to drive the entire assembly into position. Again it’s a hydraulic jack operating a simple “fork lift” that you man power into position. The pallet jack is designed to lift a pallet off the ground high enough to then roll it around and move it. Usually used in warehouses and tractor trailers to maneuver pallets a short distance by hand.
These guys are right, it’s all in the video.
The video is a series of stills, spliced together as sort of a slideshow. That’s why I remembered them as pictures.
I hope OL doesn’t mind, here is a few captures from the video showing how it was done,
I upload videos to youtube. Doesn't youtube convert them when they are uploaded? I have to find out about that. When I link here, is when the Flash format comes in, because it's the default format on this forum, in the drop down list, when adding a video via the advanced post format method.
Are others going to have a problem seeing Windows Media?, since so many do not use windows at all, or use tablets?
No problem here, maybe a change of browser is in order. Or you can click the youtube button on the lower part of the video to go to youtube and view the html5 stream. It doesn’t matter OL how you upload them, Youtube converts them anyway to multiple formats for compatibility.
