Going down.

It was a fairly mammoth task getting the mill down into the cellar. Most of today was spent inventing various ways of getting it from one place to the next, and trying to overcome various obstacles.
We used an engine crane to get it out of the van and back onto a pallet, however the engine crane doesn't have a very good range of movement and we had to make a spacer to get it to lift from that height. Then a pallet truck was used to get it down the garden to the top of the cellar steps.

Next was to make some long skis out of bits of 4x2 timber, the engine crane was used again to lift the mill clear of the floor whilst it was fitted with it's new ski's and bolted tightly to them.
The next bit was surprisingly easy, using big bar it was pried towards the cellar steps until it started to pivot downwards. It's just a matter then of giving it a shove to get it going. It seemed the real problem now lie in lifting it onto the stand, the crane can nowhere near lift that high in one go. And so i went and borrowed a hydraulic bench and that made light work of getting it to the right height.
It now sits on it's new base and fits back in the corner of the workshop where the old mill used to live. I've used it very briefly and it seems very nice, dead quiet, smooth and snug ways, no vibration and loads of power.
Tomorrow I'll oil it up properly and adjust everything. Thanks to Stuart, Tom, Arge and Benji for helping out.
