He was a wood worker. Navy lifer/carrier pilot.And skeet shooter.
The big equipment went pretty good at Cragslist, but still a couple pieces left. The hand held stuff went pretty good, then the hand tools at an Old Tool Society (PAST)swapmeet. Then individual items on ebay, if they are worth the trouble (for me, $20 lower limit.)
I've bought and sold and traded my whole life, never had to liquidate to bare walls. PITA, and and disappointing that some much good stuff has so little value to so many people. But it looks like a TON is going to get donated to one of the local high schools that still has shop classes.
One the other hand, like the deceased Chuck, I bought my stuff for a reason. To keep me active and off the couch, keep life worth getting out of bed. It's done that. Dumping it all a a garage sale is just a conduit to the next craftsman.
