Tips on moving my woodshop? (lemmy.world)

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?

While I’m not a fan of insurance, it might be worth considering getting a moving insurance to cover any potential damage to your expensive items.

That said, moving blankets and industrial Seran wrap would be my packing tools of choice for your shop tools.

Insurance is a form of gambling.
