Many thanks to David, Imran, Brandon any everyone else who responded. Apologies for the late reply, but I put my back out while I was unloading everything? (ironically, reaching for a small piece of 2x4 cribbing), and have been laid up for the last day or so. The message was originally posted last week, but took a while to float to the top of the moderators pile, so I had actually already picked it up before anyone was able to respond.? As mentioned by so many people before me, this group is totally awesome - your responses and attention to detail are greatly appreciated. For those who have not already put one and one together, this was from the estate sale post by John Wright from last week - a big shout out to John and Deanna for helping us get everything out of the shop and loaded - I know they had much more important things to do...... For the move, far as I can tell, everything went well; I took my Avant loader + 4' pallet forks on a car hauler, and rented a Penske 16' van for the saw and FB540 bandsaw. I did remove the outrigger and slider from the saw - the van was wide enough to leave the extensions and overhead guard in place. The slider was set on the floor of the truck wrapped in a moving blanket? - checked with a Starret 6' straight edge when I got back and seems none the worse for the trip. The bandsaw was actually the more akward piece - too tall to fit through the rear door. I had taken an old pallet as a precaution and we ended up laying it on its back with a 2x4 underneath the stiffening rib on the spine and a second 2x4 brace to the pedestal to keep it upright. I have a pic on the phone if anyone is interested - functional but not pretty. Next step is a temporary home in the basement while I fight the township on their desire for a 40' side setback for my workshop ........It will be joining an SCM T130, 20" jointer and a SAC 20" planer (all bought used) that are currently waiting on hookup of a 20HP PP.?
Now I've finally got the perfect excuse to buy a set of Mac's clamps........ :)
