Moving finally

[hughie]

We have had a 2-year plan to move down the coast that's been running for 4 years well its finally coming to fruition but not without some issues and challenges. Its a down sizing operation to some extent, and I am moving the workshop aka 'studio' myself, albeit slowly. This move has been coming for quite some time, so all my shelving/racking has been design to be flat packed for ease of moving. Although the floor area is bigger, with everything in boxes on the floor etc its obvious I 'm going to have to erect the shelving fairly quickly as its filling up.

I don't envy you, Hughie. When I moved from my under-the-home garage to the 2-story timber frame barn that was built specifically for my turning studio, I had help from two woodturning clubs, and plenty of bodies to move equipment. The added incentive was a feast of barbecued meats, side dishes and snacks, (all prepared by me) and adult beverages once all the heavy equipment was in place. I will always be eternally grateful for the woodturning community for so many things, and this was just one, but a very important one in my journey.

My LOML and I agree, never again, we did all the moving ourselves both heavy and bulky, and with a distance of 1000 miles between the old and new place.

Like the thousand bowls here and later turning blanks as well, finished pieces were already here.



Even with taking better than half a year, it still was a nightmare at times, like with things over there that we need over here etc, but we got it done, and know that it is our last one for sure

Leo, We have moved a few times this should be the last. LOML once asked about moving whats the best way? I suggested either you never move or you never stop moving all the time, ⁣ but the trouble is we do the in between.

I've threatened my wife that if we move again, we burn everything to the ground and start over.
I didn't explain to her that I'd be getting a new shop with all new equipment that way, but I suspect she's got that figured out already. lol
