But now my back isn't anymore what it was then. How do I go back in time to fix that?
You would be amazed what some 18 year old guys will do for am few bucks and some good BEER.

Didn't work. When it slipped out of my hands, it didn't roll up.
When the time comes, I'm planning to remove my table saw and shaper from my basement the same way they got down there: a ramp bolted to the stairs, and a dolly attached to a movable pulley.
You can't. The best solution is not to put it down there to begin with, or just hire people to get it back out.
It is important to remember that there are few woodworking machines likely to be found in a basement shop that a Jeep in low-range 4 wheel drive won't move.
The difficulty is in moving without _damaging_ it.
You can't. Better retire and let me take your woodworking tools away.

Simple. Just do it in reverse. Now, you need to remove something, or you just asking?
JOAT It was too early in the morning for it to be early in the morning. That was the only thing that he currently knew for sure.

I had a monster compressor in a basement. Put some planks on the stairs & laid the compressor on them. Tied a rope to the compressor, went around a change-of-direction pulley to a truck and "drove" the compressor upstairs. No kids hanging around so I got to drink the beer!

Exaclty. When SWMBO announced she was defecting to another team, I dreaded the affect it would have on the workshop. Turns out a few hundred dollars and a large number of moving guys later, I had my shop in a semi-better location. Now, if I can just get an electrician to put in a 20 amp circut, I don't care if I have to improve the landlord's house.
come alongs and ramps on the stairs......

How far from 07410 do you live? I owe you a beer ...
Gravity got it down there, so the obvious answer is to use some anti-gravity technology to get it out. I don't have a source for the anti-gravity, but I think my wife must. I see her looking in the mirror, muttering "damned gravity"---then rubbing stuff on the parts that are headed for the floor. I can only assume that the jars and tubes contain some sort of anti-gravity material.

Pfizer makes some anti-gravity stuff too. I think they call it Viagra.
Tell that to her, Bill and I'll bet she shows you just enough anti-gravity to take you into orbit.
You must go back in time and select the right house ;-)
Our current house has a daylight basement with a "boat door" on the partially open side (with its own concrete drive all the way to the street). I roll up the door to move things in or out, The hard part is getting big/heavy stuff into/out of the truck...
