They Are Here!
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 30th Oct 2016
The new additions arrived yesterday afternoon! Such a production to get them off the pickup truck. It consisted of pulling out the trailer, moving the pickup so the tailgate rested on the back of the truck, shelling the equipment from the truck down the ramp to the trailer, moving the truck, wheeling the equipment down the ramp to the ground. It doesn't sound like much as I write it, but it was a huge undertaking. getting the saw to the back yard proved just as interesting.
The sphere machine is huge. The table it is on is 4' x 4'. The space I had created is much smaller so rearranging again is in order.
Of coarse neither is in plug in and ready to roll condition. The sphere machine has metal cups on that are going to take some muscle and pipe wrenches to get off. Once they are off, a good cleaning is in order. There are no directions, I haven't figured out how to move the pieces yet.
The saw is filled with a nasty oil that you can't buy anymore. I will muck it out today or tomorrow. Will need to keep my eyes open for a toxic pick-up to get rid of the stuff. I will not recycle it to reuse like I do with the current product I am using.
We haven't plugged either piece in and turned them on. We got lots of extra motors with them so we will see if they are needed at this time. Still need to figure out where the electric for the saw will come from. More extension cords I suppose.
Thanks for reading........
