Yes and so we can have mass killings in schools
@Mark's Hobby Machine Shop just watch a handful of these videos and you should catch it somewhere

I know exactly what you are going through. I just moved 500 miles. My lathe and mill are full size, and I am in my seventies. I had to build an addition for the shop and since I could not get a contractor, I had to build the addition myself before I could move in. After three and a half months I am almost back in business. I am now a very tired old man. Keep up the good work.
Best of luck on your move. Personally, I think moving is like getting beat up. Hopefully you will have a happier experience. Now the selfish part: you're a great asset to the hobby machinist community and wannabe's like me. PLEASE please please don't quit making videos. You're a wonderful presenter.
@@ellieprice363 Is _that_ why I burned out? ;)
(Or something... not a perfect match to my reality, just an opportunity seen and taken for some levity.)
@@DavidLindes I thought it was “two moves = one fire”. The math checks out; move and throw away half your stuff. X2. Fire, lose everything.
@@jasonm.7358 oof. Yeah, that'd suck.
True
@@ellieprice363 Obviously you are not in the service.
11:40 Quinn trying out the newest ballroom dancing techniques under the guise that she is working out the load procedure.
As if we are gonna believe her!!!
fun fact: if you send in the brads at some different angles, they will "lock" the wood frames to the plywood. helps keeping pullout from happening.
@@somebodyelse6673 from my experience with stuff shipped from China I thought that they used ungraded bolts welded to paper thin angle iron when they didn't care if it survived skipping...
I just read this a year later. That's a great idea and I'll remember it from now on. In more places than just this kind of frame.
Have I been watching a Canadian all along? ...and I watch Rob Cosman as well. Cats and Dogs oh my! Best of luck with the move!
Wishing you a nice, large, bright hobby shop when you get back home, Quinn!
Where she goin that she needed to bring all her tools if shes going to be back?
@@jackkuehneman9300 Her home was Canada, I assumed she is returning.
@@darrinswanson I thought she was in Canada this entire time..
@@ellieprice363 Why would I know?
Now if your angle blocks manage to arrive not scrambled inside their box, we’ll know this was the smoothest move ever.
When I had a washer and dryer delivered they showed up in a truck that was too tall for the tree branches over my 200' driveway. I was worried about how they would get them up the steep slope, but their solution was a very small man, perhaps 5'2" tall. Two guys in the truck simply lowered it onto his back and he just strolled up the drive with it. It was amazing to watch.
Your muscles have greater leverage on a shorter person.
They did that for my stairs as well.
I heard a story (a true one, my friend witnessed it) of an upright piano that was moved to a farm in a pickup truck. When the pickup arrived there, a big, huge, strong farm hand put a hand at each end of the piano and easily lifted it off the pickup, and stood there holding it and asked, "where do you want it?" My friend who saw this was stunned!
@@tkat6442 We've had with 3 friends to move a piano and it already was a hassle, I just can't imagine one guy doing it :o
@@motomotomotomot He must've been a total freak of nature, with the musculature of a gorilla!
When I moved 10 years ago I bolted caster wheels to the bottom of a pallet and convinced my local grocery store to give me one of those great big roundish boxes they display melons in. It was the perfect way to pack all the lightweight yet awkward garage stuff, lawnmower, weed whacker, blower, hoses, extension cords, sprayer, folding chairs, planters, long tools and all the other bulky stuff just rolled onto the truck as a single unit.
Excellent video and lots of great tips for moving a shop. All the best to you and hoping your new shop is even better!
cant wait to see the new shop, hope everything goes well.
Best of luck with the move, Quinn. You did an amazing job getting everything packed up. You’re about a bazillion times more organized than I could ever be. Here’s to hoping your move brings your life betterment in every way, and that it goes as quickly, smoothly, and safely as possible.
Looking forward to seeing the new shop once you’re ready to be back with us!
Good luck with the move Quinn! Looking forward to seeing how you fill the new space.
Good luck . Hope the move goes smoothly. Look forward to seeing the new shop.
Great job! I’m sure you learned a lot along the way. Can’t wait to see the new shop. Thanks for sharing!
This makes me beyond happy hoping for new room in the new shop would love to see you with more capable machines
Good luck with the move and i hope to see you soon in the new shop! Thank you 🙂
Thank you for the time you've spent putting these video's up too. Take Care and all the best wishes to ya! Cheers!
When lifting things or working around heavy expensive stuff, I live by the mantra of “if it’s on the floor it can’t fall any further.” 😬
Chris J. No not fall but it can topple over. For years I moved all kinds of machines so I have seen that, fortunatly not of my doing but when companies try to do it themselves with people not knowing how. Secret is the proper tools for the task at hand and how to use it. But patience and perhaps asking someone with experience will get you a long way with lesser complicated moves by yourself.
@@ErikNielsendk (Floorstanding) Lathes are the classic for catching people out and toppling over during machine moves...
Everyone gets that the headstock end is heavy, but it's often not appreciated by inexperienced movers that the bed is offset towards the front (when you look top down at the position relative to the leveling bolts where you're likely to put skates) and how heavy the apron assembly is, making them remarkably front-heavy too. Unfortunately that usually means if it does topple it results in significant damage to the controls, apron, leadscrew and feed shafts.
You have to get up to DSG/American Pacemaker sized lathes in before the physical mass of the base casting is enough that the narrowness and imbalance in weight distribution doesn't cause a major instability issue... Conversely smaller modern Taiwanese/Chinese engine lathes are particularly high risk because they have often hollow steel frame cabinets underneath and concentrate all the weight in the bed and headstock castings which are +800mm up from the base.
@@somebodyelse6673 I have given it a try or two, anyway
As the saying goes "...put it at its lowest potential of kinetic energy!"
@@somebodyelse6673 thank you for recognizing humor. It was getting pedantic and stuffy in here. 👏
Wow! So happy for you! Can't wait to see the new shop space and your great new layout!
Super excited for you Quinn, and looking forward to whatever video comes next. Good luck with the move
Looking forward to seeing your new shop, hope the move goes well thanks for sharing Cheers.
Really looking forward to future videos now: setting up, maybe new tools, gear etc... Good luck on the move!
Ya done great Quinn! Having moved lots and lots of awkward, heavy stuff by myself, including a couple of workshops, over the years, you showed some great methods, pre-planning (absolutely essential!) and body mechanics. Not having a lift like yours I've used quick built ramps, and leverage many times instead. Gotta get me a lift like yours!
Well done Quinn that was no easy task. Wishing you every success with the move, keeping everything crossed for you.
Seeing how you had your shop organized was surprisingly useful. I'm crammed in a small space too, so it's very interesting to see how you've solved various organizational problems.
I've learnt so much from you. Best of luck with your move, hope to see you back soon.
Good luck on your move! I have to move twice this year, and i am looking forward to setting up a much more permanent shop!
Wow! I hope the move goes well and everything survives ok
Good luck with the move,looking forward to seeing you and your new shop and more episodes 👍
I'm looking forward to the UNpacking video. I'd love to see how you planned out your workflow. You're teaching an old dog new tricks - thank you!
Welcome to Utah. I hope you enjoy it here !!
Best wishes for your move. I hope everything will go or is going or went well.
Great video, hope your trip is a safe and uneventful one. Looking forward to seeing your new shop setup and many videos to come. I've learned a lot from your channel. You inspire a lot of us to become hobby machinists and more.
As always, thanks for sharing.😊
Best of luck on your move and for your new location. Can't wait to see your new shop...
Good luck and safe travels. Can't wait to see the next chapter!
Quite an undertaking, well thought out and organized. I would expect nothing less having watched your thorough attention to details these last few years.
I undertook a similar move from deep inside Mexico, (18 hours by train.) to 1st Austin, TX. for a month, then on to Madison, WI.. Total shipping weight of my shop, right at 2000 lbs..
So excited to see your new space and how you set up a shop! Crossing my fingers you get some cool old equipment and we get to watch you restore it with your usual level of excellence !!
Good luck on your new adventure and looking fwd to see your new videos
My best wishes, I can’t wait to see your next videos and your new adventure, do not worry!!! Everything will go right
I'm 39, so thanks for the tip on package tying! 😁
Also movement kills things applies to packing to ship as well as to move.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey!!!
I Just upgraded from the same lathe you have to a 12 x 36... Planning ahead, low and slow is key to success!
Its nice to see that I'm not the only one willing to take the time to be thorough, plan ahead and keep safety at the top of the list. I love the content you produce! So Keep 'em coming!!!
Learn something from you every week! That shadow line feature on the miter saw is awesome! I've never seen it before. Wish I had, as I just bought a miter saw a few months ago. It has a laser, which works ok, but lighting & alignment can be a hassle. But now to go see how hard it'll be to add a shadow line to my cheap miter saw...!
I wish you good luck with the move. Looks like you have taken care to make sure everything gets there intact.
I can relate to this.....moved my shop 6 years ago, what a battle. Made use of a squatting lift trailer that allowed me to pallet jack my machines right onto the trailer and off.
I hope your new shop is bigger and better. look forward to seeing the next generation of videos
Stay safe up there. Enjoy laying out and setting up your new workshop.
Good luck with your move Quinn. I hope to see you soon.
Bravo Ms BlondiHacks. Your "I can do it" attitude, focus and determination are very inspiring. Thank you, and Best Wishes!
Hey Quinn, all the best for that big step in your life! I really really hope you’ll find happiness there!
Please, please once you’re set up in your new surroundings, continue your videos! I love them and they’re so great and helpful!!
Best wishes from Germany!!
Super excited for you. Best of luck on the move.
Good luck! look forward to more.
Safe travels and hope the move goes well. Hope your new place has a nice sized workshop area for all your toys…. Looking forward to seeing the new workshop all set up.
Great tips Quinn, thank you! I will be moving next year too, but only 900 miles (1540 km). Your tips will come in handy, thank you again!
All luck to ya Quinn! It's always sad to say bye to a nice place, but I really hope your new location will be safer and more comfortable. Looking forward to see your content more! Thanks.
Best wishes on the move. I have moved my shop 8 times (military life) and thankfully the only thing broken we a few casters. Looking forward to seeing how you set up new shop space.
Looking forward to seeing your new shop getting set up.
Hope the move goes well. A video I will be watching again, as I will e moving my shop at the end of the year.
I haven't been been to your site in a while, but watching this like so many of your videos brings a smile to my face. Nothing like a practical girl that knows what they are doing.
Good luck with the move and best wishes. Looking forward to seeing you in the future, but I know what an upheaval moving can be, so take it easy.
Thanks, it's always interesting to see people move stuff. I build all my work benches/machine so that they are EU pallet size and engine hoist compatible. This makes moving things with a real breeze, except for basement stairs :/. Also, from my experience, a scissor pallet jack combines well with your engine hoist and is a super nice height-adjustable working surface. Good luck with your move, cheers! :)
I have a vision of a shop with a great layout and functionality in the near future. And welcome to the other side. May you find much happiness on your new adventures.
Best of luck with your move! I am looking forward to videos on how you decide to setup your shop in your new location.
Another great video. As I am now able to start setting up shop this information will be very useful. My chosen first lathe as a watchmaker is a Sherline so I may not need the hoist for that 😁
Good luck with the move Quinn... I look forward to your new content at your new location. Very useful video for when I may move in the future. Thanks!
Good luck with the move - hope it works really well for you and you never look back! Please keep producing videos - you and Tubal Cain are my 'go to' people and an inspiration! There's nowt you can't do I think!!! Cheers
Moving is always a underestimated challenge, good luck with your new location. Hope it is even better than the previous one!
Best of luck Quinn, hoping the move goes super smooth for you.
Many of us get to learn from you quite a lot. Now on packing and moving. Wish you the best and hope to see you back from wherever you are moving.
Quinn. A great video. I am awaiting a PM1022V and my plan was to install much the way you moved yours. Great suggestion for removing chuck and the plywood for blocking! I'll also get two shackles. Thanks and good luck with the move
Good luck on your new adventure hopefully you can get up and running fast.
Moving bites. Take Care. I pray everything goes smoothly. Thanks Ron
Sorry to see that you're moving. It's very exhausting to pack and then unpack. As long as you are happy sweety, then I'm happy for you. I'm looking forward to your new shop. Good luck, be safe, and stay healthy.😊❤
I had to move and unfortunately had to give up most of my tools. I kept as much as I could and am paying for storage. ☹️. Wishing you the best in your move and looking forward to seeing you set up the new (larger?) shop..
good luck on the move! I havent had to face this chore yet, but its coming and my shop gear is about teh same in bulk as what you faced. good vid!
Good luck with your move! I moved cities in the last few years and then moved again and it is a major pain. Hiring movers used to doing workshops and the like was well worth the money. They were excellent! The only thing that seems to have gone missing (or rather I haven't found yet) was a handle off my pan brake. I did have to quickly buy a mobile girder crane when we arrived here to be able to reassemble my mill which is only a little bigger than yours.
This was a great episode! I don't plan on moving, but I did have a lot of....."Oh so that's what I did wrong" moments. Great tips, Thanks Ms. Blondihacks!!!
Just think Quinn. It is not just you moving.
Were moving with you!
our workshop will be amazing .
Just like you,
Hope all goes well for you on the zero hour, I could almost here you choke up when you said how many years you been there.
well we will see you in the next chapter .
We are waiting to see and know about the new layout of your next workspace! Please share the space optimization new options. Good luck and thank you for everything.
Good luck on your new journey. ❤️
Good luck with the move. Hopefully you won't be long getting set up and making us some more content. Safe travels.
Best of luck in your new "digs". Have a safe trip.
Enjoy your videos' Quinn. You have helped me re discover my high school youth in Vancouver BC. I just hope you are moving to Canada----maybe BC. At any rate the very best!
Time to rally the troops! Some can't send money, join memberships, help via patreon. But those people are the ones that can work all day and gladly do it for those we care about.
Some excellent tips on using an engine crane, as well as packaging things. I have a very similar engine crane and I certainly could have used it when I brought my little machines down to my underground lair. The lifting straps are super important for safe lifting for sure.
Good luck with your move. I was a mover for four years. You would be surprised what and how things get packed and moved be sure to inspect and check your inventory when it arrives.
I like your packing methods. I moved once [whole 3 miles!] and good thing I had a small skid steer that I could load up and drive right into the new cellar shop and place the machines pretty close to where they had to be. Getting them out of the old cellar shop was a chore. Heavest was a Jet mill at 700 lbs or so. Good thing I had no time constraints.I used a cherry picker that could fit in the cellar hatchway towed with my Sears tractor to pick stuff up and load on my trailer. That was 35 years ago and I swear I can remember every minute of the move! Wish you the best.!!
Big move, big fun. I hope your new shop is all you want it to be and more. Lots of Love from the UK. 😘
Good luck with the move, both of you are the shop.
Hope the move goes well. Thanks for the tips, I have a heavy lathe I need to collect from a private seller, and move into my workshop.
Wishing you all the best with the move.
On the positive side - we'll get parts 1 through ~5 of "how to set up your new shop space" videos in the next couple months.
Nesting all that gear into a new shop will be fun - Good luck with the move Quinn.
Can't wait to see the new shop!
When I moved my Bridgeport mill from its previous owners workshop, after we removed its table so it could be squeezed through a normal sized door, I lifted it with a 1ton engine crane and attached two pieces of 6" by 4" to its base with coach screws, then it was moved with a pallet jack onto a tail lift to get it into a lorry.
I moved it into position in my workshop on pipes, which is really easy as long as you have at least two people.
Lathes are easier to move in my experience, you can jack up each end in turn or lift from the bed with straps.
I have a set of machine skates and a toe jack, both items well worth having if you are moving machinery that a couple strong people can't pick up.
I've moved so many times I can move nearly anything, however I'm getting old enough and am crippled enough that I just hate moving. Moved last November and I sold three truckloads (14' box van) of antiques, tooling, machines, collectables, etc to lighten my job. As of this last July, I'm looking to move again. Whether from Nebraska to Texas, or three miles across town, the older you get, the less you want to move.
I feel your pain bro'. I got a little bit smarter as I grow older - quit collecting stuff!
You have to clear unnecessary stuff twice when moving: 1st before, so you don't have to move as much. 2nd after, because the experience of moving it has shifted your attachment to the stuff; things you thought were indispensable become a nuisance when you have to lug them around one too many times.
I would die if I had to move that much.
I plan to move at most 5 times in my life.
Almost half-way done and its only at 3 moves including childhood so I have a chance.
I am always amazed at how small your shop actually is. Good luck with the move.
Best of luck in your new adventure!
I moved fairly often overseas and the best tip i got for machinerie and tool to reduce banging and scratches is "Bean bag filler memory foam" i put this in all my tools box or fragile thing between each items.. It expand after 30min to fill those lose gap between stuff, significantly reduced scratches!
