Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk Roughly 25 by 25 currently. It's very expandable though. I'll add about 15' to it at some point making it 25 by 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeset202 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Moving is such a PITA, especially a shop. More fun putting it all back together than it is taking it all down! Great video, the Nordfab ducting makes assembly and disassembly well worth the high cost of the initial investment. Is your main trunk line 8"? I have the CV1800 with temporary PVC (6" main line) until I save up enough to do the shop with the Nordfab ducting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They designed the system and that's what they recommended. I took the entire system down in a day so, if moving or changing your system around is in your future then, yes, it's a good investment. As a side note, Grizzly sells the Nordfab piping as well so, you can just order a few pieces at a time if you'd like. The only downside to them is that they don't have anything less than 4". To be honest, I'm not looking forward to all the work still ahead but, I'm glad that I'm as far ahead of the game as I am. We've nearly gone as far as we can go now. I have a crew showing up today to help me get the monster gun safe (900 pounds) staged and then that'll be it for the all the big stuff.

gee-dub Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm tired just watching the video . Jealous though, it will be a couple of years before we move to our 'forever' house. That just means I'll be a couple years older when I have to move the shop. Setting up in a new place and applying what I've learned about my wants and needs excites me. Tearing down the old shop build . . . does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved my tools from Vancouver WA to Louisiana, put all my stuff in storage, never did build a shop because I realized I wasn't going to stay in Louisiana, moved to Idaho 3 years later, bought a house with a 30x40 shop, took me 3 months to unpack everything and set up the shop! I was like a kid at Christmas unpacking all my tools! Never moving again! Love it here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I am sure you looked in to this, do you have some good hardwood sources where your new home is? Rooms look so big when they are emptied of their contents. I think I saw a tear running down the cheek of your pellet stove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've visited the new hardwood dealer a few times and I should be in good shape there. When last I checked on them, they were working towards becoming a Festool dealer as well. If I can talk them into carrying General Finishes as well I should have life licked Although this pellet stove is staying behind, there will be another one in the new shop.

freedhardwoods Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Nice looking new shop space. Good to hear that you're able to get out of WA. Any pics of the house? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks.. I shot some video when I was there but, I need to get thru it all and figure out what I have and then get it put up. There's also some stock pictures that I'll toss in the next video as well. Obviously, when I get there, I'll get a lot more footage and take everyone along for the ride.

Woodenskye Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Kev your really making some progress on getting packed up. The nordfab certainly made taking down a breeze. Is your Roubo on casters full time or did you just add for the move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the flip up castors from Rockler so, the bench sits on the floor unless I want to move it. I liked them so much for that bench that I may add them to the OF table as well. They're a little expensive but, paid for themselves in this move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answer, I don't think moving the OF and Roubo without some assistance would be much fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Good luck with the move, Kev! I've pretty much decided that IF I ever move, the house is going to be sold fully furnished, including the shop, attic, and closets! I hate moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..Kev Posted September 3, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Well, I've now completely caught up to real time. We're a couple weeks ahead of schedule but, that's because I thought I was going out of town for a week for work. So, no videos for a couple weeks until this move gets rolling again. Everything in the house is packed up and staged in the garage, old shop, and old quilting room ready to load onto trucks. Our clothes are in suitcases and our mattress is on the floor...lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeset202 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yes you really need to shop for movers, when I moved from Louisiana to Idaho I looked into the big moving companies and they all wanted 15-20 grand to do the move. I found a guy in Texarkana who did the move for $6500! He did a great job, didn't have a fancy truck but loaded all my stuff out of 3 storage units (I was already in Idaho) and moved it here in 4 days! I calculated out my cost and time to go down and get the stuff and it was a no brainier to spend the $6500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cost will end up being about 2k plus a couple plane tickets home for the friends helping us make the move. The drive is about 12 hours from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdustdad Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I moved my shop last year and can attest to it being a major undertaking. I packed and moved several pickup truck loads of smaller tools, then hired a moving company to move some furniture out of the house so it could be put on the market to be sold. I told the moving company they needed a truck with a Tommy Lift (lift tail gate), They finally understood when they went to move my 20 inch planer. They had nothing suitable to lift it or move it, and the three guys were no match for it. We rolled it to the doorway and rigged a plywood ramp to the lift gate. Barely made it. The TS, Shaper, jointer, resaw, etc., were childs play by comparison. At this point, I still have a few things left at the old shop pending sale of the house there. Just in case I need to fix something at that house. Old shop and new shop... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
