Hi All, well you asked me to film the moving and setting up of the new workshop and this is part one. All went as well as expected but there were some problems which will cause a delay before I can get turning again.
Thanks for watching and feel free to leave comments in the chat below.

Hello Mike. Please don’t worry too much about how everything is going. These things never run smoothly. And they always get sorted out in the end. I can say that from a great deal of experience. By the time my parents had been married 45 years they had “inhabited” 40 houses, across countries and even continents. We kids used to count their moves by Easter’s and Christmas’s. And you will look back (as we did/do) and have a good laugh at the absurdity of it all. Take your time, look after yourself and your family and enjoy your new home. We, who watch your videos, are happy to wait.

I am looking forward to seeing your new creations in your new shop!

@ronbeckhaus7326 3 месяца назад

You'll get it all sorted in due time. At least John had the good grace to turn up and he actually helped once he got his head around what needed to be done. It has been my experience that a lot of neighbours wouldn't bother unless there was something in it for them. Your son was wonderful, I can see you count yourself blessed with people like these in your life. Well done on a hard day's yakka, but it's not over yet! The fun bit of setting up your workshop is yet to come. Cheers, Mike.

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Thanks Ron and yes and still a lot to do. John had to be persuaded to help lol and did leave with a small vice and some more wood lol 😀. Honestly though he has been a great neighbour and some of the (friendly) insults we have thrown at each other over the years have been hilarious 😀

@colinwatmore7041 3 месяца назад

I see where you made your first mistake.....having a plan! Surely you must realise that things can only go wrong with a plan if you have one. Go planless, then absolutely nothing can go wrong with it. As the meerkat says ... simples. Good luck with the rest of the move and set up Mike and thanks for the update video. Keep smiling.

@loopinnerthe 3 месяца назад

You teased us right to the very end with the bottles above the garage door. I was sure you were going to forget them. For all that struggle and hard work... for me it's the sound of the tail lift that wins this video. If that doesn't get sampled by some music producer and appear on a smash hit in the next few months, then I think I might have to just do it myself. In fact the whole soundtrack is filled with musical gold. Compressor blast hi hats , box thumping bass drums, sweepy floor snares, torque driver whirrs its all there...there's probably even enough vocals to write all the words to something like "Moving into dem ol' shed delivery blues..." or maybe its just a dance floor filla "Tail lifted"...

I'd like to have been there to help. I could have lugged smaller things to and from the moving van. But I had to chuckle watching the 'sped up' portions of you guys working as it is reminiscent of the old Bewitched TV show when Samantha, needing to get the house cleaned, used her powers to speed herself up. Then Darren would come home, catch her in the act, then give her hell for using her powers. LOL! Anyway, it usually takes a move like this to see just how much stuff one has. That's one thing I've never done in my life is move from one home to another. And I'm glad to see Hooch survived the ordeal. LOL!

The only good thing about moving is it forces you to reorganize your stuff. A lot of the time we stagnate in the set up we have gets cramped and dirty. This is of course my sisters attitude who used to move once a year or more.

Hi Mike, How's the old saying go? Man plans, God laughs..... I know all about collecting stuff over the years and how the empty space fills so quickly. In my garage make-over I too installed a shed in my driveway to store wood & items & tools not used often. I thought I would have some extra empty space available but I'm looking for more space and have concluded that I simply have too much darn crap. Time to weed. One of my long time mottos is, " If I have not used or had a need for something in a previous years time, then out it goes." It never fails that within a month after, I'll have a need for what just got tossed. LOL. That's either Murphy's Law, or, life. Good luck with your shed build, and in the mean time, use this time to rest up and weed out. Oh yeah, your son is definitely " a big boy " as you said. Take care and keep turning. Bill Riley.

Moved my workshop twice now. Loads of work and no fun at all. Always seems like the rubbish multiplies. Sure is fun when the move is complete, the shop is arranged, and you’re standing at the lathe ready to turn the first project. Looks like you had some really good help. Hope you can enjoy the process of setting up the new shop.

Thanks Doug, I will enjoy it, it's the sitting around waiting for contractors to do their bit first I hate, much rather be in charge of my own destiny 😀

Hi Mike, Well you have all done well getting the moving complete. Now comes the fun part of arranging things in new spaces. It was a pity regarding the shed but good things come to those that wait. The waiting part is the most frustrating so I'm not sure if that is a good phrase. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Thanks Roy and I appreciate the phrase, it's as god as any in this situation 😀

A huge undertaking to move a shop. I cannot imagine moving my own shop. I may not have as much turning stock as you, but I likely have a lot more flat stock and sheet goods. Turning club members mention trees which have been taken down and who wants the wood. I have to resist the temptation, too little room. I would also have been frustrated that the contractor did not turn up. Good that you finally found out why. The new shop suddenly looks so small with all the items piled up. A lot of future work to get things organized before you can start turning again. At least the new house has good views and the dogs have a lot of room to run around, very important. Dave.

It is David, always family first and we all love it here, the shop will be sorted and in a few months it will just be a memory 😀

@aliciadare2572 Месяц назад

What a big job! I’m sure it will get sorted soon.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

All done now 😀

Murphy's Law manages to mess up carefully made schedules... especially those made on a "short" timeline. Half lathe will travel triggered a childhood memory of a childhood TV show called Have Gun Will Travel. Love it.💚🤗

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

These things happen I guess and we just have to deal with them 😀 Glad it brought back memories

I'm not sure I would say a bomb hit the old place or the new. Maybe both. LOL. Good move getting a van with a lift. I have a hoist on my Utility, but you have to hook up everything with slings. etc. I'm in my dream shop. Next time I move is when I'm in a pine box. Too much hassle and stress for me. Chill and take it easy. Trying to make videos should be at the bottom of the list. We can wait ☺

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much Pete, the tail lift was a no brainer, no way could we man handle a 200kg lathe into the back of a van 😀

@Buttermilk3696 3 месяца назад

Thank goodness for wheels and hydraulic cylinders when moving!!

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Would not have done it without them 😀

Good luck with the rest of the move Mike, I hope it goes smoother for you mate.

You and me both! 😄

Well if it helps, I just spent an hour today for the first time ever, turning a square piece of wood into a round piece of wood, and I'm holding you entirely responsible Mike. I still don't have the time or space, but apparently, I did have the money (to be fair, it's a terrible and cheap lathe, but it's a taster to see if it's fun - spoiler, it was huge fun).

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Haha well done and welcome to the club! My first lathe was not great but it got me where I am and I would have not had it any other way 😀

@baconsoda 3 месяца назад

Strangely, after watching this, any thoughts I might have had of moving again have been completely dispelled. Best Wishes, Brendan.

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Haha I bet!! I never want to move again I know that lol 😀

@Audie1234 3 месяца назад

That's so frustrating about the shed not going up. Let's just hope they show up on the weekend. I'd be grinding my teeth over that! Universal disappointment as that stuff happens here in the States, too.

@MikeHolton 3 месяца назад

Indeed I do not get angry easily but I must admit to getting a tad frustrated lol 😀

@troybaldwin5329 3 месяца назад

The new shop looks good maybe you'll have more room 🤞 can't wait to see what you'll do first
