[TheForge] Moving machinery

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

To All,
I am an engineer so I wanted to be able to plumb the press out anywhere in 
the shop.  So I mounted four 1/2 inch bolts head down to the bottom of the 
frame.  The loading has essentially glued it to the concrete floor where it 
sits.  I can move it now a little with great effort but I would like to just 
make it mobile.

 3 or 4 under it, you do have to push it to where you want it. Rowland >>
