He likes to keep his lunch chilled.
After he finishes his lunch he straps a Chevy pick up on his back with the fridge in the back bed, and carry's them up 3 flights of stairs to the roof. He is doing his part for climate change by not using gasoline.
Impressive, but where does he plug it in?
...fridge is probably emptyQuote:

When I was stationed in Turkey in the early 80's, saw a guy looked a lot like that one carry one up seven flights of stairs to a top floor apartment in Adana, Turkey. Was helping friends of ours move off base. I'd have been 28 or 29. I could not have done that. Decided there and then not to pick any fights with Turks. ;)Quote:

When I moved, once from NJ to WV, then to NC I had help loading a mill, lathe cutter grinder bandsaw etc. I did not have any help unloading them. In WV the garage had 10 ft ceiling so I was able to back in the trailer and off load with a chain hoist attached to the floor joists.
In NC things were a little more complicated, the garage doors were only 7 ft., so I off loaded to the drive then had to cut down the gantry I had made from 2x6's move it in side, reassemble and finish placing the machines.
I had thought my move to WV would be my last but the wife had other ideas. I told her my next move will be in an urn!
I had moved 32 times before I turned 18. Then I enlisted in the USAF, and stayed for 24 years. It eventually cured my itchy foot and over-the-horizon fever. Unfortunately for me, SWMBO wants to move back to NW Florida. I now have 4 lathes, 2(or 3 depending on how you count the Smithy) milling machines, a shaper, 3 drill presses (or 4), three welders, etc. I've done a bit of moving. Lived/worked in 4 countries and 7 states. Owned 4 houses, and lost count of the rentals many years ago. I figure about the time I get the workshop here set up the way I like it, I'll have to move again.Quote:

Only about $12 each at Steve's Wholesale Tools. Was thinking I could make machine trucks, as I have all these machines, and HSM or MW had plans for such in a recent issue, but I couldn't get to the machines. Now I can get to most of them. Hope to have that all sorted in the next couple of weeks, but this process has been on-going for a couple of decades now. NOT looking forward to moving again.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!
I use my engine hoist to move mine.or floor jack for the small mill. my back for my 2 lathes I figured I better not do that again by my self, so I made a 2x4 truss and used cumalong with fan belts to do my biger lathe....and it's only 9x20 . I left up the truss and hang stuff on it...my brother got smart...he bought a forklift that needed a little work.cheep, real cheep.and not a lot of work to fix it( bad seal that was a common issue). As for wmr myers...com on down!!! Im in shalimar !! (fortwalton beach destin area) my brother is across a bridge about 4 miles away.
