Title: I hate to do it but...
Post by: RedVise on September 22, 2015, 08:23:10 AM: We are having as Garage Sale.
We are downsizing my moms stuff and I will take the opportunity(?) to get rid of some excess (Excess ?? my wife asks !!!).
I do have a lot of stuff I would never buy again so it's a good thing to do, to let go of a few things.

Good luck on your sale

You don't happen to have any planes (woodworking, not with wings) or spokeshaves in those boxes, do you? Or adjustable bevels?

just south of forty... Pretty sure all the retirees thin out the tool herd before moving down here, but most bring their old oil can.

Bill, "over" is Pinellas County Florida , Bill. Home of the Wagon Wheel Flea Market, among others.

If you are down this way, give me a shout.

Might have had the flash on, I don't remember, it has been kinda hectic trying to sort/group all the stuff.
And the garage floor got a coat of plain jane latex paint back in 2001, kinda a pale blue, cuz that's what I had the most of.

Funny, I am looking around and it looks like I am getting rid of 75% of what I have on hand.

we were pretty busy so I didn't get good shots, but here are a couple of pics.
The wooden boxes (not shown) sold very well.
