OL is constantly updating the OP with new info. How he did it “by himself” is outlined there 
(OL is appending all new info to the first post)
Glad to see you got your lathe!
Just watched your vids.. and it surely sounds like someone is having a great time....!!
There is the lathe pic on the floor and the next pic is the lathe all installed on bench top. There is no intermediate pic or explanation.
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.
I believe the video shows it...in parts.
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,
Sweet!
@dchomak - Thank you. I tend not to think about people not being able to see the vids. I need to take stills too, but I never seem to remember.
The final setup looks very nice!
Using a cherry picker and 3 straps are managed in the middle answered my inquiry. Thanks.
(Firefox does not “like” flash video.)
Has anyone, ever seen OL smile? I would like to see a picture of that. OL smiling with a kitten in his arms.
Updated the OP again.
Should I select another format other than Flash? Iframe? Shockwave? Windows Media? Realmedia?
I can choose any of those when I insert the video in the post.
Facebook and Mozilla say Flash has serious security issues — that means you embed malwares/virus If it’s no trouble Windows Media is preferred.
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?
Sounds like it’s time to join a hobby machinist forum. Maybe you’ll bring back some flashaholics.
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.
In that case it’s better to stay in the Flash format.
Congrats my friend. You deserve it.
I can’t wait to see the creations that you make with this new rig.
Just thought I would mention that I can watch your videos on my iPhone6 and Apple will not permit flash.
I really hesitated in posting this OL. My fear is that once you start modding your lathe, we will never see you again! :bigsmile:
There are some simple improvements here though that you may want to consider. This is a very entertaining video.
