After taking much of the day to do some family things (beach before, and BBQ after) for Australia Day, I also moved a number of machines into the shed, now that the electrical was completed and therefore the machines wouldn’t get in the way.
Heavy buggers, especially over soft, churned up dirt the backyard has become. The pallet jack is such an asset – able to lift the heaviest machine easily, and with reasonably wide wheels, can even manage the ground to a certain extent.
Even so, it was too much to move the thicknesser on my own (230 or so kg), so with a brief assistance of a couple of neighbours, it flew across the back yard.
Paying the price for it all now though!
Never-the-less, a good number of moves was achieved – slowly emptying the garage, and the shed starting to take on real character.
Placement/layout is by no means locked in (never is in my shed!), but am roughly placing them still in accordance with the original plan.
What was moved in this time was the Jet lathe (still uncertain about its long term plan), Jet 14″ bandsaw, Torque Workcentre, the workbench, thicknesser.
