Iz that a Sherline?
have to say that I bet seeing that lathe being moved around up in the air was like poetry in motion.

Powered scraper, when need be.
Texas has a reasonable ration of flat land. Or nearly so..
When in WEST By God, Virginia, OTOH?
Flat land for a shop and slab under a lathe that size ain't standard issue.
Yah have to make yer own.

Personally that lathe is the longest I have ever seen. I am 75 now and I remember my father telling me these long horizontal lathes have been pretty much replaced by vertical lathes several stories tall for long shafting for the simple reason of gravity. So I'm surprised machines like this are still in use. Was my father wrong?
Hand scraped in ?...

Why not? Cash hand scraped in a Madison grinder nearly as big a couple of years ago.

They seriously picked up that lathe in one spot with one truck?
Just trying to break it in half?
Or was it going to scrap anyway?
