Stellaghost Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) So with a possible house move at some point in the next year I've decided to make an adjustable height A frame so I don't need assistance from someone with a telehandler to move my milling machine, lathe etc also will be handy when I lift body off for portal axle project. Progress so far Mag drill helping with holes Edited January 24, 2020 by Stellaghost Addition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
