Engineering Solutions
His approach combines ingenuity with traditional engineering methods. After carefully wedging the lathe and lifting it a couple of inches off the crates, Hutcherson prepares to drill a hole for an eye bolt. This bolt will be strategically placed through a reefer-style container above the lathe and connected to beams and steel plating to safely redistribute the weight, facilitating the lift.
With a come-along (a type of cable winch) at his disposal, he intends to gradually lift the lathe back to its upright position. Hutcherson emphasizes careful planning, ensuring that the center of gravity is maintained to avoid further complications during the lift.
