My woodworking shop lives in my 2 car garage. I have several large-ish machines, like a sawstop PCS, a 12" jointer and a dust extraction system.

I’m in the US. I’m currently in the process of selling my house and moving to a different state 2000 miles away. I’m dreading having to move my woodshop. My main concern is those large machines getting damaged in transit. I plan to use pods for the move.

So, people who have gone through a similar move, do you have any tips? How did you pack large/heavy machines?

    For the large items, if they could fit on a pallet, buy or make the pallets. Rent a metal strap binder. Cut some 2x4 the width of your pallet and strap them to the pallet. Then box it off with 1/4" ply. If possible lay heavy side down.
