Gday all,
I have been looking through the forum mainly looking for prices on bits and pieces as my father a retired cabinet maker has recently had to go in to a home and the stuff that I am not keeping or is too big for my place we are selling off.
About moi, I work in IT and my usual hobby is the sport of pistol shooting, I used to dabble in woodwork occasionally but these days just dont have the time, between work, family, running after the old man etc.
The last few days I have been having to go through his workshop, its really weird to go in to your old mans workshop he has had for all the years and have to sort through so much stuff, it brings back so many memories as a kid growing up in and around powertool, planers, bench saws, etc. Finding a heap of weird stuff too, he was such a pack rat LOL.
Sold a heap of huon pine today and a couple planks of black heart sassafras, I now smell like huon pine from lugging it all out side.
Unfortunately I have other hobbies as well and am stretched for space otherwise I would be keeping the lot.
Things like his wooden planes, No 8 stanley plane, and assorted other assorted hand planes, dawn clamps, some sash clamps, sliding compound saw etc I will be keeping however stuff like his spindle moulder, bench sander, drill press etc I dont have room for so all have to go.
Although looking through this forum is sorts having the effect of wanting to keep some more stuff and start doing a bit again. Thanks for listening to my waffle.
