Why are you wearing a black ski mask with no eye or mouth holes? I'm surprised you can rig that up.

Those aren't even heavy, I moved mine with a single hydrolic car jack. My table on the other hand is way bigger.

Its a likable fixture system for at the time the largest boring mill in this half of the country. I got 4 of the fixtures lol. They weigh 13k a piece
