I'm relatively new to serious woodworking GW... at least when it comes to decent tools... after my divorce and until about 15 years ago, my arsenal was a drill with a disc pad, hammer, few slot headed screwdrivers, pliers, wrench and this Sidchrome socket set, that helped keep my MkII Ford Zephyr on the road... which was no mean feat for a non-revhead working from do-it-yourself Ford repair manuals... and to think that after all these years it has managed to remained imperial.
My first "dedicated" shop had a flat floor so small wheels were not an issue, I was none the wiser and most of my machinery were fairy-fart, lower end stuff. Wasn't till I moved to downtown Churchill 12 years ago that I started getting serious equipment, though experience didn't keep up, and had craters in my concrete that I gravitated towards large wheels.
Nowdays, no getting down on knees anymore... build upside down, slap on the bigger wheels and use a hoist to upright it... or just buy the mobile, low profile, heavy duty bases and use that same hoist to lift it on. Manual lifting is reserved for cask-o-vinos.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
