YES!! im the kid in the video. Ive been subscribed to you channel and stayed posted to see when it would come out. Also thank you for being so kind and buying this off of us, i have no doubt in my mind my grandfather would want it to go to someone like you;)
Hey Cash! Great to hear from you and thanks so much for the kind response. The whole thing was a great experience and I'm looking forward to many projects with the Bridgeport. I'll think about your grandfather when firing up the mill. You did the bulk of the work with that winch while getting this thing loaded- thanks for your help! We'll do some more with the mill soon, starting with a rolling skid so it can be moved to a cleaner part of the shop. Thanks again!
Congratulations! That looks like it’s in very nice shape. My Bridgeport is 1940’s vintage, and was a basket case when I bought it in 1983. I’ve never seen a trailer like that. Very handy! I’ve moved my Bridgeport to six different shops over the last 40 years, using just a U-Haul trailer and a cherry-picker engine hoist. I lowered the trailer, by deflating the tires. 👍
Thanks @ChipsAndSparksGarage I'm thrilled to have found this thing. I'm still learning the basic models, but I'm guessing yours is a round ram? These drop deck trailers are new to me too, even the tilt trailer was handy. I think the pallet jack was a big part of it too. Thanks for watching!
@@HapticGarage No, mine has the dovetail ram, like yours, but it has step pulleys instead of variable speed. My second most useful machine in the shop(right behind my metal lathe) Enjoy!👍
@@ChipsAndSparksGarage Cool stuff man, I'm sure you could share a few things about how to operate this beast. And agreed, the lathe comes first but a mill is a close second. A welder has to be up there in the list too, but on the other side of the shop...
Great job moving and transporting the mill. I'm a lifetime Machinist, now semi retired. Just bought a nice vertical mill, and a 13 X 36 Clausing Lathe. Big problem, it's in a very tight spot and part of the makeshift garage has dirt floors I need to travel through before getting the Machines outside. That drop trailer idea using a winch looks like it's gonna work. Thanks for the video.
Thanks @renecintronjr.2262 and congrats on the mill and lathe. 13x36 sounds like a great size. I'm sure you could teach me a million things as I learn to use this beast. Good luck with the move and let us know how it goes!
Hey Brent, you shuda hollard, I would have come in the laguna, you know its good for it, lol best wishes with the new bridgeport, looks like its had a good home, just when i thought your shop coudent get any more technical..👌
Hey Joe! Thanks for the good vibes, this is definitely a game changer for the shop. Hopefully I can figure this thing out well enough to make it happen! Next tool run I'll be sure to give you a shout so you can make the short commute and we'll get it done. Thanks again man!
Great score on this Bridgeport! Your safety style and purpose is impressive. I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't know about these squat trailers you can rent or heck, even own! Now that I'm aware, I just may get in more trouble with the lady if I find an affordable piece of equipment.
Thanks Bugssy, that trailer worked well for this move. Was glad to have the pallet jack too- really made it a winning combination. Good luck with the shopping spree and let us know what you drag home!
Yeah, I like learning new words too. First time I heard "dunnage" a few years ago I thought it was completely made up by the person I was speaking with but nope. It's a thing. Thanks for watching!
I think you will ----- ENJOY ---- you new Bridgeport ------ it will come in ---- VERY ---- handy ---------- I see a Servo Feed on your X-Axis ----- that will --- Really --- make it nice in milling your parts ----- Will have to wait till next time ------ you can only --- TEASE --- us with so much ---- to see if it came with some Tooling ------------ Use to ---Sell ---- Service --- and Completely Rebuild those things ---- you should have yourself there ----- a fine machine ----- Till your next one ----- Have a Good Week ---------- Rodney
Thanks Rodney, it came with some collets, endmills, and a vice. The power feed is a great perk, will have to search for a DRO in the future. That's cool you have a lot of history with these!
Ha! That's funny. The work on Wheezy was shot before the mill was around but I've added intros/outros and some supplemental footage during editing. I tried to keep it out of the shot but it must have sneaked in somewhere. Good catch!
Thanks Hubertus, it's a great tool I'll really enjoy using. It was used while building the engine currently in Dweezil. We decked the case and flycut the heads, was also useful in drilling operations.

Wow that sounds like a sketchy haul but glad he made it! I hauled some questionable loads years ago but I'm done with that, much better to enjoy the drive without tons of risk. Thanks for sharing!
I see what you're doing. Can't fool me. Step 1 install really huge tool in average garage, Step 2 eyeball a bigger garage, do math, 2+2 to me says that someday soon you'll want to get a garage that fits the new Bridgeport. This in turn would have you going down a slippery slope, not in a bad way IMHO. Say hi to your pups for me. I wave when tails are wagging.
Thanks Cyclebuster. I'll be moving heavy stuff again in the future, so if you'll indulge me a bit and cite the law you're referring to I'd be happy to read up on it. I don't mind putting in the effort to avoid issues.
@@HapticGarage 393.130 Man, they have changed the laws a lot. I have no idea what they are thinking. I guess from what i just read the straps dont even need to be labeled for strength . I guess they don't care anymore, let them be crushed. It used to be over 4000 lbs it needed to be chained with 2 chains. What ever. When the truck hits the car , that machine is coming through the whole pile. By these new laws you can tie down a train with a walmart strap.
@@cyclebuster Thanks for the follow up and the citation. I agree, there is a lack of clarity coming from our bureaucratic friends but that's why it's good for us to look out for each other on an individual level. Here's a little more reading that confirms your assumption about labeling but appears it's for commercial interests: www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/cargo-securement/cargo-securement-rules Regardless, not a bad topic for a person to consider carefully when hauling stuff. Thanks for chiming in!

Now that’s a shop upgrade!
Congratulations buddy!!
Thanks Gary! I should be able to get into even more trouble now!
Nice shop upgrade!! You just levelled up big time!
Thanks Annie, now all I have to do is learn how to use it. Should only take a lifetime!
All right ! now let's get some tooling!
Thanks @cjk5k! I have the basics (collets, chuck, endmills, flycutter) but there is some cool stuff on the wishlist.

Thanks Levi!
From Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. You create some very interesting content. Keep at it. I enjoy these videos very much.
Thanks Hank, we'll keep it up!

Thank you for so much information...I traded for a Bridgeport and must move it a long way...John
You're welcome John, good luck with the move. I think you'll like your new mill!
Great score on this Bridgeport! Your safety style and purpose is impressive. I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't know about these squat trailers you can rent or heck, even own! Now that I'm aware, I just may get in more trouble with the lady if I find an affordable piece of equipment.

That's one heck of a pieces of machinery
Yeah Barry, it's going to be a trip!
Nice. Looking forward to seeing in action. Happy for you with the score, but maybe a bit jelly. Word for the day; dunnage
Yeah, I like learning new words too. First time I heard "dunnage" a few years ago I thought it was completely made up by the person I was speaking with but nope. It's a thing. Thanks for watching!
Very cool Brent. I’m sure you’re excited!
I can't wait to see what you can do with it!
Me too Brandon! Lots to learn but there's no shortage of projects to do the teaching. We'll have fun with this one!
Dude you scored on this one 😎👍👍
Thanks Mike, I'm really pleased about it!
Congratulations that’s going to be a great addition
Thanks kyridgejumper, I'm grateful to finally have one!
That's a fantastic addition to the garage and #vdubrun23

just for nosey sakes, did I see it in the last vid, in the background. lol, ive an eye for this kina thing..lol👌
Ha! That's funny. The work on Wheezy was shot before the mill was around but I've added intros/outros and some supplemental footage during editing. I tried to keep it out of the shot but it must have sneaked in somewhere. Good catch!
Nice machine! Are you going to need a 3 Phase to power that mill?
Thanks Matthew! Yes, I have a rotary converter that powers it with clean 3 phase.
I just moved my mill to my garage .. its a supermax and I swear it weighs more than my Bridgeport
Glad you were able to move it safely- I think most of the Supermax mills are indeed heavier than a Bridgeport
Hi Brent , This beast is a great supply to the shop, what`s possible to do with that. engine????.Greetings.Hubertus.
Thanks Hubertus, it's a great tool I'll really enjoy using. It was used while building the engine currently in Dweezil. We decked the case and flycut the heads, was also useful in drilling operations.
Nice
Thanks Larry!
Telehandler is a great for the job too. 😅

DUDE! I'm SOOOOO jealous.
Yeah man, I'm grateful to have found this. Long learning curve incoming!
The Best way is to tie it down with CHAINS as required by Federal Law
Thanks Cyclebuster. I'll be moving heavy stuff again in the future, so if you'll indulge me a bit and cite the law you're referring to I'd be happy to read up on it. I don't mind putting in the effort to avoid issues.

Stop milling around and get to work.
I need to stop working around and get to milling.
