The forge will be turned off on Friday the 11th of August to ensure we have time to pack everything. We will also not be refilling any gas bottles until after the move. We will begin packing immediately and will only have minimal tools available until the gas runs out.
If you have any assets/materials in the forge area, we recommend that you move them asap to ensure they are not packed into shipping containers. You can see the list of the remaining equipment in the forge team stocktake.
We estimate that the forge area will need 6 hardwood pallets and 2 softwood pallets to pack all our equipment.
More pallets needed. The jewellery plaster is self supporting on soft pallets, and can be stuffed on top of anything. We need to package and cover anything except the power hammer to remove the dome. The hammer just needs covering of the electrical components short term. I say abandon any opened jewellery plaster drums. Just keep the fresh stuff. 700kg of good stuff is better than 900kg of maybe stuff.
The forge storage area has been cleaned out and packed. The tools, cone, stump and forge have all been packed. The storage cabinet and PPE cabinet are on a pallet.
