[TheForge] Gazinta (Re: shuttle)

[Ralph Sproul]

Ayuup. (another NH thing)   - IF you have a lifting means, the floor pockets
in my floor take a post that carries my 250 lb machinist vice.  It is
somewhat modular - but it's pushing the limits of the "gazinta".........but
it is one............just a heavy one.
