Some of you may have read me mention that I had bought a Highland Park 24" slab saw
Well, it arrived yesterday.
Just so happens that I took a few pictures of how I spent the rest of the day
Here is the crated saw at the seller's house in Colorado. I can't rave enough about his crating job. If I HAD to crate a saw like this, it might turn out similar... but, it would have taken me a week to do it!
so, in merely 6 days, the saw goes from snow to +70°
first thing it said was "where's the beach!"
I took about 50 pictures, but I'll pare that down some for this thread
Went right to work uncrating... oh boy oh boy!
Decided to leave this much of the crate for the trip to the back yard. Figured it would make it easier to move.
BTW - shipping weight was 960 pounds! The seller had added a box of rock inside the saw for me, about 40-50 pounds worth. Can't wait to get them on the saw
a better look at his crating work
it made the trip just fine!
now, getting 900 pounds into the back yard by myself
the trip begins...
felt like a NASCAR driver. left turn, straightaway, left turn, straightaway
weeee the first corner!
made the first turn with no problems... whew!
and headed to the back yard.
did I mention the fence I needed to take down or the ferns that had a really bad day?
heading on back
left turn Clyde!
ALMOST to a stopping point. I figured the back porch was a good place to do my saw beautification project. If you saw pictures I posted last month of some of my shop equipment then you know I like to "fix" things up ;D
the future home is in sight! I should have taken pictures of my "rewiring the shed" project. That was 3 days of fun... not.
the temporary home
so close yet so far away...
the saw decided that was a long trip and let out a big yawn!
myself...
I went a had a beer!
which sounds good right about now...
So, THAT'S what I did yesterday ;D
I will be back later with some stupid new saw owner type questions! Like, how much oil do I need to buy for a HP 24?
Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I tried to resize everything so that they would open easily even for dial-up connections.
