A couple of years ago, I gathered all my excess tools (I know it's a hard
concept to grasp) and took them to Ed Lebetkin who runs the tool store at
Roy Underhill's Woodwright's School in Pittsboro, NC.  Many of these tools
I got for a song in Maine back in the good old days, while others came more
dear.  I felt that Ed made me a fair price, basically the current wholesale
value.  I probably lost money, but that was not the issue; these tools now
would be placed with woodworkers that will use them - a much better fate
than sitting in boxes in my shop.  Ed is a great guy and is dedicated to
supplying user grade tools to those that need and want them.  If you don't
want your tools to wind up in an estate sale after you are gone, consider
giving Ed a call.
