Friday was a busy day at work for me, infact I think that today being sunday I am finaly catching up. This had been a big deal between the School and Haas to have Haas donate 2 brand new machine to the school. Unfortunatly there was timing issues that caused much stress between the movers, electrictions, and other stuff. To give you an idea the machines arrived just moments after the electrictions had just finished disconnecting the other machines that needed moved out of the way. So let see the fun!


Your eyes are not deciving you, that is an flying fork lift. To be able to move the machines around inside the shop the movers had to lift a second forklift into the shop.


Sitting in the faculity parking lot our SL 20 lathe waits its turn to be put into the classroom. 


... and the VF2 mill is also waiting it's turn to get uplifted into the shop.


Because of the slope of the parking lot, the loading ramp and dock, it took the movers a lot of time and thought to accomplish the task of getting the machines into the classroom. These two guys did an incrdiable job!


Ta Da! The SL20 in place, aint it purdy. Even thought the machines are in place now there is still a lot to do before the semester starts to make the machines useable, but that something to worry about next week, er... tomorrow? Eeek!
