Our packout is fast approaching. I've been finishing up projects at breakneck speed but my wife wants me to cease and desist so I can focus on cleaning up and getting organized for the move. Professional movers will pack everything but I need to organize so they can do their thing and I can do mine.11 years of clutter to organize in 1 week. Thank goodness I have these extra holiday days because I'm still working full-time, too.
Anyway, I have to decide what tools I want to bring with me and what tools to store. My big tools will definitely have to be stored, but our new apartment has a sun room area that I think I can use to do some woodworking. I'm going to bring all my hand tools--chisels, saws, planes, pliers, hammer, etc--but I need to decide on what powered equipment to bring. All my cordless drill/drivers will come--some on the plane in checked baggage in case I need to do something immediately. My jigsaw, palm router, multitool, random orbit sander, and Dremel will be shipped later. I'm on the fence about my circular saw, track saw, and Domino, but I feel like I want to bring the track saw with short track and the Domino, I'm going to store the miter saw. I'm thinking I will bring whatever sandpaper I have. I think I can have the wood glue and finish (water borne) shipped later with the tools. I'm going to ask the shipping guy if they would ever experience freezing temps. I need to separate out what bits of hardware (screws/nails) I want to bring vs store. 2 car garage down to a sunroom of undetermined size. Oy vey.
We are going to a developed country but I don't know what's really available for me locally. I'm going to find a shop vac locally. I'm going to bring my B&D Workmate and a couple of plastic sawhorses, too.
OK, enough dilly dallying. Back to cleaning. Let me know if you think of anything.
