I have rigged a 400 lb electric to the ceiling to lift the BS-1 clone on and off the g0704's table though. Twould be nice over at the lathe, but no access to the ceiling as the garage door moves over the lathe. A small 3 sheave rope might be enough if hung from the dexeon bar holding a 4' led lamp over the bed of the lathe. But its got to be short when pulled up and the one I have is all of a foot or more at full lift.
