The Oliver planer was moved successfully this past weekend. Here it is, hanging under the gantry just before I backed the pickup underneath. The gantry performed like a champ, I think the design was appropriate - the proper mix of strength, rigidity and portability. Many thanks to Buzz H for his assistance in moving this beast.
Preparing to move 1200 Pounds of Cast Iron
The gantry is built, most of the gear is organized. I think I'm ready for tomorrow's move. An Oliver 399 is coming home tomorrow. Sorry for the crappy image...in my basement.
