My woodworking shop lives in my 2 car garage. I have several large-ish machines, like a sawstop PCS, a 12" jointer and a dust extraction system.
I’m in the US. I’m currently in the process of selling my house and moving to a different state 2000 miles away. I’m dreading having to move my woodshop. My main concern is those large machines getting damaged in transit. I plan to use pods for the move.
So, people who have gone through a similar move, do you have any tips? How did you pack large/heavy machines?
Wrap everything in moving blankets and secure with ratchet straps.
If you have anything really heavy, you might see if you can rent or borrow a small tractor with a hydraulic liftt and forks. I lugged a planer (300+ lbs) into my basement shop by myself, with a refrigerator dolly. I won’t make that mistake again.
