Well, some of those machines are on loan for us to put them through the paces but I'm positive we can find someone to sell you one! ;)

Awesome update. Thanks for sharing what I'm sure makes you lose sleep. Running a small business is brutal. Don't listen to anyone who isn't intimately familiar with YOUR situation. You'll find a path and get where you want to be. Carry on. 👍👍👍👍

I think your balancing it all perfectly. Like you said you giving the new space time to be ready too. So many people will chase instant gratification and go full send just to "get something off their plate." But you are chosing to do it right, the first time. Despite the extra stress and costs. You got this. Dont second guess yourself.

Yeah, in a way it beats kind of "living out of boxes" until all the updates to the new shop are finished.

Hey thank you! You keep watching them and we'll keep making them, can't promise we're going to do a shop renovation or move again anytime after this though. But since we filmed it you can always relive the magic I suppose!

I'm interested to see how the 'homely' accessible warmth of your original workshop translates to a more industrial space. Naturally, I'm anticipating that the camaraderie and amenable goofiness of you guys, as a successful group dynamic, with prevail. I guess this is my way of saying that I don't want you guys to change and I'm sure you won't. After all, we can't deny our essential nature. It's hardwired into us.

@LiftArcStudios 2 ай бұрын

The old shop was always oozing with character, but the new space we're getting to build out from scratch so I think what we're missing history wise will be made up for in fun things we built ourselves. We'll know soon!

@AnneDunning-s3c 2 ай бұрын

Moving a business always taxes finances, physical energy, and psychological strength. Your particular business requires moving intimidatingly large and heavy equipment as well as many small parts you need to know how to find. Congratulations both on keeping optimistic sights on the dream of your future space and on maintaining a thriving business amidst such distraction and financial drain! Weathering the busy-ness of this time will bring copious future rewards.

I have been involved in 6, I think, shop moves. They can make you a nervous wreck. Whether you are prepping, rigging, lifting, and moving the equipment yourself or have a contractor, it's insanity. To have a contractor point to a lathe and ask, "What kind of machine is this?" Just blows your mind. How the hell do you know how to rig and lift a machine that you have no idea what it is or its function? One company tried to throw a chain binder over the center of a lathe with blocks under each end! It's like being a ringmaster for a 10 ring circus. Then they argue with you when you show them the operator's manual that specifically shows where and how to lift! The worst one, though, was moving the maintenance shops from a military base that was closing. Everything had to be returned to the supply system along with the pages of paperwork needed for that function. We had a massive radial arm drill press that was lifted into the shop before the roof was put on. I had to take that beautiful old antique apart to get it out of the shop. I knew it would never get put back together and would become razorblades. You have no idea of the outcome. My heart goes out to you. The blessed thing is you have control of the move and the people doing it! Stay focused, keep your head on a swivel, and keep a keen ear open. May you, your shop machines and employees, have a safe and pleasant move! Cheers Terry

@LiftArcStudios 2 ай бұрын

Oh man Terry, we feel you. Fortunately / unfortunately we're doing almost all the move ourselves. We have the good luck though of having a bunch of friends in the same or adjacent industries to help which saves a lot of those headaches you ran into with people who are supposed to be "professional" movers.

We have the 48” Baileigh magnetic brake. I have made some custom sheet metal cubes with it. It’s ok, doesn’t hardly beat a proper sized box & pan brake. Our box & pan brake is 60” Roper 10 gauge. We bought it long after the Baileigh. Moving shop goes, take your time & plan it. You will thank yourself later. If you are not sure of where to put stuff, get cardboard & cut it out in the size of the equipment. Lay the cardboard on the ground to get a good visual. We did this with our machine shop before moving it just to walk around make sure it felt right. We spent maybe 100$ on cardboard for all of our equipment.

Great minds think alike! We have made cut outs we're using on the floor / electrical plan to make sure everything is in a good and logical place.

Tay, are you kidding me!!! Mate you owe us nothing!! Bottom line, you got to keep paying the light bills man. The day you turn paying work down for us is the same day you need to give yourself a proper uppercut so that you can reset and follow the $$$ again. As for the delays with the contractors, that's life dude and anyone who has been around any kind of project will know. No matter how well you plan things week to week, every calendar says the same...Monday...Tuesday, W..T..F...! So just keep your heads up, put one foot in front of the other and soon you will get there. You awesome guys could be throwing slag into a bin all day and we would still be here, even if it's just for the banter!!! Final thought, Hats are a bit of a personal thing...aka favorite team/sport/brand/car.......how about some solid AF welder caps that are better than the others? The kind of cap that you would get HARD and use every day or even a "fits all" clip on/rivet on leather flap for the back of a welding mask to keep backlight and sparks out. Cause we all love hot shit on the back of our necks and seeing the light in the roof while welding!

I realize you guys move a lot of heavy items in the course of a month & year but it would be worthwhile to investigate a millwright moving firm to help you move efficiently & with the least amount of downtime. Millwright movers do nothing other than move heavy equipment & large quantities of associated materials. I have seen millrights move machinery weighing tons while the clients employees continue working 6' away. Over time, by sheer volume they learn many techniques to speed up moves & they come with truckloads of equipment, some very specialized, to work efficiently.
