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?
Remove any blades, lock anything that locks like a mitre saw arm. Cover machines surfaces with cardboard or even wood. Wrap with moving moving blankets.
On top of this, see if you can watch any unboxing videos of this stuff and recreate the packing for yourself.
