    Wheel woes

    The new shop passed final insepction (via facetime) yesterday and I started moving things in. According to the scale on the mover's truck lift, my hardware cabinet loaded weighs in at 2108 pounds, nearly twice the 1200 pound rating on the casters. The rubber wheels themselves were fine, but the steel swivels and stembolts failed.
    I found 4000 pound steel casters on Amazon last night and ordered those so that should be good for a while.

    The lift on the router table snaped the bar where the lift end pivots so that will need to be replaced.

    On a set of shelves my dad gave me, as soon as I started moving it, the wheels simply fell apart into pieces.

    Today's task will be re-mobilizing some shop equipment, after unloading the trailer.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
