Anything in mind for a first "new shop" project??
Speaking of which - how are you going to keep the swarf in the workshop?
And have you thought about the Workshop gnome(s) ?
I seem to recall a Monitor Steam Engine that was started some time ago. Or was that in a different universe
Geeez Zee, I am just catching up on the shop buddy and already everyone is talking about food.

The last machine I had delivered, a bench top mill, was delivered by UPS Freight. The driver told me he was not allowed to shove it on to the back of my pickup, only to the ground or on to a loading dock. I finally talked him into it by telling him I would be responsible if anything went wrong.How much does your mill weigh?
Mill was supposed to be delivered Friday. I took the day off and tracked it all day. Saw it arrived at a local depot.Then I got a call. "Would it be okay to deliver on Tuesday?"Like I have a choice? Residential deliveries are different than business.Ah well.Been worrying about how to get it in. Got dollies and an engine hoist. But driveway is brand new.I'm thinking I'll create ruts if I dolly it from the curb to the garage.So I'm thinking I'll have them shove it off the truck onto my pickup. Then back the pickup into the garage and use the engine hoist.The daughters' boys have offered to help.This might be my chance to do some damage.
