Thanks Dave, but I don't think I have seen any of your kit, Ill take a look at your past posting, your 24' Wolfenden Thicknesser already has me curious, wish I was there on the Australia day weekend helping you guys out too.
If you get a chance to post about it or even some pic's would be sensational, no pressure ...

G'day Matty,


Here is the link to the get together

I hope to be updating with pics throughout the event.

There should be a couple of posts of the equipment I have, about 12 pieces in all that I got from a joinery.

I also have a total of 15 lathes from small to larger. All of them feature at some point I think, Not sure if I posted the latest lathe or not, its a mystery lathe

I've moved some cuckoo stuff into the backyard here ... including a 2-pole car hoist.

A few times the go has been
... object tied down tight to the 12' x 4' single-axle trailer
... wheels of the trailer chocked from behind
... a good rope around the trailer hitch and from there around the tow-bar a few times
... undoing the trailer hitch, and gradually letting the trailer down on its rear end
... roping the object fully down to the ground level with gravity-assist if necessary
... tying object to the garage and/or large botanicals
... tying the trailer axle to the towbar and gradually moving the trailer away.

Or there is heli-lift, if you have a mate in the air-force or police ??

Cheers,
Paul
