When I have posted videos of moving big woodworking machines into my basement shop, a common comments revolve around concern about how I would get them out if I moved. Well, that time has come. Where there is a will (and mechanical advantage), there is a way. In this installment, I refine my method for moving heavy objects using my F-150 as a counterweight, the Cranebow gantry crane as a winch mount, and expired Pam cooking spray for lubricant. I hope you enjoy!
As it turns out, @SmarterEveryDay 's enthusiasm for snatch blocks is infectious!
Including tools from @rockler, @harborfreight, and @Northern_Tool .
