Galoots all,

I read an e-mail saying that the younger WW'ers felt that we older ones 
are hoarding the good stuff. It made me think, painful though that was.
I have a fair amount of Old Arn, and no desire to take it with me when I 
move from this misbegotten area (Northern VA). In the interest of 
greasing the slopes for the youngsters, I'd be happy to flat rate much 
of the stuff that I acquired whilst I was in my "Save The Tools!" stage 
that we all went through.

This is NOT an offer to sell tools to be parted out and placed on eBay. 
What it is, is a return to the Galoot method of trust. If you're new to 
tools, or know someone who is, send me an e-mail with an idea of what 
you need. I'll paw through my pile and put stuff into a flat rate. You 
look it over and send me what you feel it's worth plus the postage.
I'm not looking to get rich. I'm not even looking to break even. I just 
don't want to donate it to Goodwill and have it end up on the wall of 
some restaurant. Or painted. Or turned into a lamp.

I tried doing the Craigslist thing and got requests for specifics - 
makes and models. It ain't like that. You want an egg beater, I'll try 
to find you one. You want a 2D, fuggedaboutit. Got lots of drawknives. 
Same thing with chisels and planes. These are my users, handles are 
gonna be questionable, possibly. I don't know, the stuff's been in a 
storage unit for decades. No scorps, no @1s or #2s, no infills, you get 
the idea. If you know how to send saws through the mail, let me know. 
Folding them to fit a flat rate seems kinda sketchy.

Anyway, that's my thoughts. A Bio would be nice to go with the SOT 
traditional terms.

Let's see how this works out,
Dave in Fairfax
