Had a busy day today.

Took the trailer down to Hare and Forbes this morning and picked up my lathe. I lashed it down with a bunch of ratchet tie down straps but it was still a nervous ride home.

The 6x4 trailer coped really well. I gave it a freshen up recently. I welded on a new hitch, rewired it and built a new axle for it. I re used the rims and light truck from my tandem car trailer. I picked up some nice aloys for the tandem at a swap meet a while back. It's getting a freshen up too.

Getting it off the trailer and into the workshop was a bit of a struggle and I'm feeling it now. It's all good though and only a couple of small scratches in the paint to show for it.

Here it is installed and leveled up.



It's truely awesome to use. I can see years of fun ahead. I've never used a DRO before so it was fun to try a few cuts and work out how to drive it. You can do some cool stuff with it and I've only scratched the surface.

Cheers
