In this video I talk about my purchase of a Hammer C3 41C Comfort woodworking machine, and what was involved in receiving it, unpacking it, and getting it into my basement shop. I had a lot of challenges in getting this machine where it needed to go, including a 29” doorway and a flight of stairs into my basement. I thought for many years about getting a piece of machinery like this, but always struggled with the issues of not having a garage or an exterior entrance to my basement. I debated building a garage, building an exterior stairwell to my basement, renting shop space, and a lot of other options, but in the end I decided to make it fit into my basement. Felder sells the machine and you can request them to split it in half for shipment (yes, you get to pay extra for them to disassemble the machine that you paid for them to build in the first place). In the end, this worked out well for me and I was able to get the machine down to a 28” width to fit through the doors and down the stairs. Be careful! This isn’t for the faint of heart.

Also, I talk a little about what accessories and options I chose to purchase and how things are working out in the first week or two after I got the machine. It’s a long video, but hopefully it provides some information that I couldn’t find when I was making my choices.
