Well 3 state to state relo's and 12 months of beach hunting later and I'm dusting off my HH board and parts. Lots of good info has piled up on the forum in the interim.

Good to hear from you again, wondered where you went. So I have a question... when you relocated, how did you move all your shop equipment? I'm about to make a very major move, and I'm looking at my shop and wondering, "How am I going to do this?"

If you are moving across town or within say 300 miles hire some movers off Craigslist, that's what I did, way cheaper than the professional movers.Originally posted by Carl-NC View Post
Even at the reduced rates I paid to move my shop equipment twice (from NY to NH to NJ) plus about $1,400 in storage fees and I tell you I would have been money ahead if I had sold it all and purchased new equipment.
In the end that's what I did, it was just too expensive to ship the stuff from NJ coast to coast to WA. Like my vacuum machines, I can build brand new ones for what it was going to cost me to ship them.
I kept all my electronics gear e.g. the scopes, meters, etc. and my high end tools but got rid of everything else. I shipped about 10 boxes of stuff via UPS and packed the rest in my rig and drove it out to WA myself.

2600 miles. Yeah, I'm looking at selling most of the big stuff. It still leaves me with a lot.

I feel your pain, I got rid of litterally truck loads of stuff it was amazing. How in the hell I aquired all that crap I'll never know!
