Hope everyone had a great holiday break!
My son Walter is a machinist, and he recently bought an old metal lathe—a very heavy piece of machinery. In this episode, we’ll show you how we moved it safely using a plywood skid and an engine hoist.
Once he gets it set up, we’ll be coming back with a full shop tour. If you’d like to see the shop tour I made of Walter’s shop about two years ago, click the link below.
