He's well aware of it Ed, as it's in his shop that's in his house! ;)
I've shown him all the photos I posted here, as he was very interested in knowing how we got the old Bridgeport out and this Alliant in. When I (and other family members) bought him the Bridgeport at least ten years ago, he did most of the work. He built an A-frame with a chainfall to hoist it off the heavy duty landscape trailer it came in on, and there were at least 4 strong men and two younger sons helping. This move was quite a bit more difficult with far less help. I really appreciated the help I did get from my brother (an artist and very mechanically declined), my son (quite out of shape given his age of 32), and Russ (the only physically and mentally fit one of the lot.)
