I have recently purchased a 1912 18" Crescent Planer to add to my workshop. The long and the short of it is Im looking for some help. Here are some the pics....I got to admit I do drool every time I see them!
I have been trying to figure out the best way to get it from the freight terminal in Raleigh to my house (Falls Lake Area) and into the garage. I was hoping that I could get some extra hands and possible a small utility trailer from anyone that would be willing to help out. The size of the crate is (56" x 50" x 47" @1400 lbs). I have a 3/4 ton pickup truck, so we should be set on pulling it.
The shipping company said that it should arrive by Thursday and could pick it up Friday morning. This of course is subject to change and based on how some of these companies operate, you just never know.
I would love to tell you that I have a whole shop full of these types of machines to come and see, but may be some day!
