I'm moving over the next couple of months and that means packing up, moving and then setting back up my shop.
I've searched this forum, a couple of others, and the web and finding one spot with a lot of good info on moving your shop is hard to find. So I'd like to turn this thread into a giant brain dump for all of the do's and do nots of moving ww'ing equipment.
So far I've discovered that the short rolls of shrink wrap from the borg are great! It's about 5" wide and works wonders on bundling everything from lumber to clamps. Banana boxes from the grocery store seem to be great (as long as you put a bottom in them) for packing everything in. They are heavy duty and have removeable tops.
What about moving the equipment. Am I going to hurt the cast iron wings on my table saw by carrying the saw w/ them? Or the wings on my jointer? What's the best way to secure them in the trailer?
There's lots more questions, but I'd like to see what you all have to offer. A kind of lesson's learned journel.
Thanks!!!
