When I arranged shipment of my lathe from Summit they wouldn't release it from the warehouse unless it was a flat deck truck where the machine could be chained down to stop tip overs.
Didn't get a whole lot done with this today. I ended up spending a good portion of the morning putting out fires at work even though I'm supposed to be on vacation. At least I didn't have to make the long commute in because I can connect to my work computer from home.
Got some of the wiring done in preparation for the test run. Still got a fair amount of work to do though prior to that event. I'm hopefully going to get most of it done tomorrow.

A good looking mill Ed, from what I can see. I was going to say that it'll never be that clean again, but then I remembered who I was talking to.
I'm sure you will have a lot of fun setting it up.

Ed, your slackin'. I don't see the new addition in your signature yet.

It sure does Willie. I've been waiting for this for years now. I knew it would eventually happen, I just didn't know when. The stars finally aligned to make it so.

Thanks Tom. Sorry about the lack of detail in the pictures. It's so hot and humid here now that I don't want to remove the plastic until the humidity drops. Today is supposed to be even worse than yesterday and tomorrow about the same. Sunday is when the cool front comes through and the humidity is supposed to plummet later in the day with highs in the 70s starting Monday. So the plan is to unwrap it on Sunday afternoon or evening and get it ready for a test run on Monday.
