Forgive me if this sounds dumb but am a newbie to this group
Have decided to get into model making after not having touched a lathe or mill since I was about 18 ( 50 years fly by )
Have just bought an Optimum small lathe from H and F
The base is manhandleable !! - but the lathe itself weighs about 200kg and its going to be a tight fit into my shed
Intend picking up on a trailer and then using an engine lift to pick it up and put it on the base
Can anyone point me in the direction of info as to where best to sling from - recognise need to keep slings clear of the screws and handles
For the history buffs - thats my dad at Joseph Lucas leaning on his trusty Dean Smith and Grace

Thanks Rumble
