The shop I started my career in still makes those binder bars from scratch in the USA, Screw machines, punch presses, oldschool. I owe them so much. If anyone needs a binder bar... Morgan Mfg. In petaluma California. I have a bunch of videos on my channel from there.
Congratulations on the move. I just got to move my shop out of my garage and into a commercial space in February, and the stress was immeasurable. The actual move is the easy part. It's all the prep, wiring, cleaning, etc. that really wear on you.
Me and my father Moved about 20 machines (our shop) from Connecticut to Tennessee about 2 years ago, I feel your pain. Then after 1 year my father who owned the business passed away. Ill tell ya John it’s been a wild ride but I feel your pain and I know I’m making my father proud running this shop solo! Congrats to your beautiful company
Having a rockstar rigging team is key to the whole process of moving. You can tell when they are rockstars because they don't even say a word while moving machines.
Very well done Jay. Back in the early nineties I did a similar move. It took Me a lot longer more like 2-3 weeks with a split crew. Just out of curiosity how many square feet in the old to square feet in the new? Looks awesome
That's a lot of logistics to consider, It blows my mind how big USA factory's are and how much space you have around the machines, my shop in UK is 2500 sq ft I pay £6 per sq ft [ £15k] and £8k council rates and to make it pay I have to squeeze the machines in, its all safe but tight, in ideal world I need at least another 1000 ft but I've been there for since 86 so I couldn't even comprehend a move 😱, goog luck, do you get the machine manufacturers back in to re set up the machines to get them dialed in because cncs don't like to be moved because gremlins seem to get in.
Moving isn't hard if you have the right team, right mentality and right plan. This is our 3rd shop in 4 years and I'd trade moves for shop growth every time.
How do you manage all of your jobs? From RFQ's to Shipping? I've been wonder this since i started watching your videos, Thanks for sharing knowledge to the community!
E-Commerce site handles all the orders and shipping. We use our "Pierson Boards" to manage our work. This video will illustrate: ua-cam.com/video/aLa6ZNtjApY/v-deo.html
@@PiersonWorkholding I got your "black makes the machines pop" reason, although contrast is supposedly a general reason , not a particular one (the almost same effect one can get by using dark blue, dark grey etc). Just for fun, I will give you some examples: a guy I know painted his living room in black because he was a nightclub goer and he felt that black is "groovy" ! I girl I know painted her office in black because it resembled a theater atmosphere and perhaps it was the closest to being "on a stage" that she could have ever gotten. Different people have different reasons. If I wanted to become an austronaut, I would paint the walls in black and also paint some small bright stars and feel like in outer space 😊. Great shop anyway ! Have fun !
NOOOOOOOO!!! Not the Mini Mill! Man, you could walk out and say "this is where it started." Louis Rossman's channel and the general state of small business in California keeps killing my desire to run a business here. Yours is the only remaining beacon of hope.
As much history I had with the Mini Mill, sentimentality is a terrible business strategy. And don't believe everything you hear about California. It's still a manufacturing powerhouse and the synergy of local vendors is second to none.

"Decision fatigue due to micro decisions" is what I refer to that as. It can be incredibly stressful!
I love watching your production(movies), everything buttoned up the last button!
I love your attention to detail. Congrats on the new space!

Stay strong brother make him proud!!!!
So sorry to hear about your loss. I'm certain you're making him proud! Wishing you the absolute best on your journey with your shop!
Cant wait to see the next episode of this serie!
We got a big move couple of years ago.. I can feel the pain of moving a lot of stuff..
Planning is the key to a successful move

These riggers work with barks and hand signals. Total pros!
Good new shop MR Pierson

How thick did the building's concrete slab end up being?
50000lbs heck I thought that would be just one machine! Lol Of course I commonly machine parts that weigh around a ton
53,650 lbs to be exact.

Love it! Going to be a beautiful shop.
Very nice looking shop. Congrats!! Is the flooring actual epoxy or polyaspartic? I used the later for my garage floor and it’s been bulletproof.
What shop bay lights did you choose? I need new ones.

Great new shop ! Is there any particular reason for painting the walls in black, apart from not seeing any accidental marks on them ?
I answer that in the previous episode.

How do you have a shop full of Haas' without puddles of coolant or oil under them?
We wouldn't leave puddles even if we had them. Trash lives in a dump.
@@PiersonWorkholding we have a GM2 and that thing is about like a lawn sprinkler with coolant.
Great video. That took a lot more planning that I though. Ciao, Marco.
Congratulations! I love your videos, but I dislike one thing. The dramatic music is LOUD!
Man, how loud is your phone and where can I get one?
@@PiersonWorkholding 😄
You make it look easy 👍
the music is way to lode
