G'day from an old bloke saying goodbye to his hobby

[Bobsoldstuff]

Fot the past 40 years I have enjoyed woodworking combined with blacksmithing, harness making, and collecting old stuff mostly related to restoration of horse-drawn vehicles. The time has now come to downsize and move on in life. Although much of what I have to disperse is marginal to your interests, I expect some of it may be attractive. Have a look at www.bobsoldstuff.com (http://www.bobsoldstuff.com/) Browse "timber" and "tools: woodworking," especially. I have never been interested in selling and havn't bought anything is years, so pricing is a challenge. Although "googling" is often helpful, I am counting on the "market" to reveal value of many things. For example, I have no idea what Queensland maple boards 12in x 1in x 5m, rough sawn, are worth, although I would guess more than when I bought them in 1979.

Cheers, Bob.

G'day Bob - welcome to the board. A bit sad that you join just to leave behind a long pastime. I'm sure you will get a fair bid on much you wish to sell. Good luck.

Bob, good luck on your change. I hope your moving on to some other phase of life is positive. You are helping me do some preparatory grieving. I can have only a year or two more in the shed at best before I will need to move on too. I hope your clearance sale goes well. Those maple boards ought to be very much sought after. My advice is to sell as much as you can privately rather than have a big clearance sale day because the prices raised on those kinds of auctions seem to be pityful. Fortunately I have had my value out of my tools and machinery and don't have a need to sell them, so I am going to gather 3 or 4 neighbourhood friends together on "the day" and let them draw lots for my bits and pieces.

That's it, as far as I can see.

Jeremy, you were my first customer and I was shocked to learn about the US dollar 'scam'. Totally unintentional and has now been fixed.

I also realised that I make no mention of delivery costs on the web site. My policy is to deliver by Australia Post C.O.D. where item suits, e.g. the bit brace.

Cheers,

Bob

Sorry to be so public on what I assumed was an oversight! Thanks for rectifying and making the position clear. I'll be back to buy that item this morning!
